    Reinstalling Windows On Old Pc Than Transfer to New Pc


    I have windows already installed on my pc since I bought a prebuilt but I want to build my dream pc this holdiay. Can I reinstall windows onto my old pc to get rid of the bloatware and then download that windows onto my new pc without the "Activate Windows" watermark? I also do not have the product key for my existing windows copy. Do I need that to install windows without the watermark?

    :)

    Transfer all files from old PC to new one

    Windows Easy Transfer is not available in Windows 10

    • But now for the good news: Microsoft has partnered with Laplink to bring you

      PCmover Express       – a tool for transferring selected files, folders and more from your old Windows PC to your new Windows 10 PC. And even more good news – it’s free!

    Reinstalling Windows On Old Pc Than Transfer to New Pc

    Transfer a Windows 10 license to a new PC

    I have purchased a new PC and I would like to transfer Windows license from my old PC to the new one. I am using Windows 10 (which was upgraded from Win 8.1) on my older computer and is activated with a licence linked to my Microsoft account. On my new PC, I have installed fresh copy of Win 10 using Media Creation Tool. To activate Windows on the new PC, I attempted the following, but have not deactivated Windows on the old PC (deactivation procedure described here)-

    Settings > Update & Security > Activation> Troubleshoot> I changed hardware on this device recently> Logged into my connected Microsoft account > This is the device I’m using right now > Activate.

    After performing the above, I am unable to activate Windows on my new PC. Please help me with the following-

    1. Do I need to deactivate windows on older PC first?
    2. Does Microsoft entitle users to transfer licenses to new PC?
    3. Is there anything else which I have missed out?

    If this helps- slmgr -dli gives the following
