  1. moving windows license from old pc to new pc


    Hi,

    I purchased a dell PC (not windows 10 pro), and then updated it Windows 10 pro.

    I queried the machine to get my activation code

    I uninstalled the windows license from the dell, with success,

    How do I upgrade my surface pro 6 (just purchased) from windows home to that windows 10 pro license?

    Thanks,

    Brian

    :)

  2. move windows 10 license from old to new pc.

    Sorry, but I can't find an answer for how to move windows 10 home license to new pc.

    All are talking about upgrade from windows 7/8 etc and/or free windows 10 upgrade license.

    In my case is no upgrade and no free windows 10 license involved.

    Situation:

    - Old pc is running windows 10 and the license has been ordered from www.microsoftstore.com

    - New pc is without any OS and I would like to install windows 10 home using the product key i do use on the old pc.

    Is that possible and any special actions ?

    thanks.
