    New Laptops with no OS preinstalled - License Question


    Hello,We already have Enterprise Licenses for Windows 10 in our organization, we deploy Windows either manually or via SCCM.Legal wise, is there a problem buying laptops with no OS then installing latest version of windows then applying our Enterprise license to it?Or must we buy the laptop with an already installed windows on it?

    New Hard Drive Licensing Question

    On a different laptop I want to install a new HD and build Win10 Pro using this users already used license.

    Question if user is on the road.

    When user comes back to office -> How do I remove the license from his current OS build so I can re-used the license on the new build?

    Thanks,

    Preinstalled OS Licence - Virtual Windows 10 VM

    Hi, sorry, no.

    The preinstalled license is most likely be OEM and not transferrable as the VM counts as a new device with its own hardware. You need two licenses, even if the OS license at the moment is retail.
