  1. Product Key Swapping


    i own two laptops. One, is currently broken and has a windows 10 pro product key sticker from the place where it was refurbished. Recently, i got a new laptop to replace the broke laptop which we will say is Laptop A. The new laptop shall be Laptop B as a codename. Is there a way to swap product keys with one laptop unusable?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Product key swap

    Hi,

    Is it possible to swap product keys between 2 Win10 laptops? I have a Compaq Presario V3000 with Windows 10 Pro and a Dell Vostro 14-5480 with Windows 10 Home Single Language. The latter is the one that I use daily while the former has been kind of dormant
    for months now (though I always update it regularly), and I want my Dell to have Pro instead of Home. What steps do I need to take to make this happen/possible?

    Thank you!

    Swap product keys between machines

    I have a now deceased PC with Windows 10 Pro and a new laptop with Windows 10 Home. In the process of moving all my files to the new machine, the power supply of the old machine blew up. I'd like to swap the product keys and eventually resurrect the old
    one. Is this easily done (the swapping I mean)?

    Product Key Swapping

    Windows 10 Product key swap

    Hi Andre

    You can only swap over those licences, if both licences are Retail licences (purchased separately to the PC's), if those licences came pre-installed on those PC's, they do not have transfer rights

    If those are retail licences, upgrading the Home SL to Pro will be easy, you can use a generic Pro key, however, downgrading the Pro licence to Home SL will require a full clean install of Windows Home SL

    If those licences are retail licences, please let me know and we can go through the steps to swap those over . . .
