Windows 10: Moving SSD windows 10 pro to a new motherboard

Planning on upgrading CPu/GPU/RAM/motherboard but I hate reinstalling everything as my current set up of installed softwares are already optimal.


Any way i can move my SSD with the OS to the new motherboard without reinstalling? Windows 10 pro wasn't preinstalled, it was a windows 7 pro disc install then upgraded to windows 10 pro as this is a gaming HTPC. 8 years old now

Activating Windows 10 with a digital license from a new SSD and new motherboard

Hi Dave,

Yes this is a retail version of windows 7 that I upgraded to windows 10. Since I'm moving to both a new motherboard and new SSD, I'd mostly just like confirmation that dissociating my digital license from my original hardware will allow me to associate it
with my new hardware afterwards. Also, what are the specific steps to remove a digital license from Windows 10 in the first place? Does this need to be done by contacting official microsoft reps independently?

Thanks,

Jonathan

 

Moving a Windows 10 Pro license to a new computer

I have a Windows 10 Pro retail license (I bought it from the Microsoft Store website) and want to move it from an old computer to my new laptop but I'm getting an error about the license being used on another computer.

I moved my old SSD to the new Laptop and did a clean install so the old instalation has been 'deteted'. My old machne has a motherboard problem with the TPM.

How can I activate Windows 10 Pro on my new computer and will I have problems if I ever need to reinstall it on the new machine?

Thanks.
