    Removing all personal files without losing OEM license


    Hello, I have an old prebuilt PC with an OEM windows 10 license on its HDD, and my personal files too. I also have another old PC with a windows 7 license on its SSD, which is better than the HDD.

    I want to switch the HDD and SSD between the computers, but to have windows 10 on the SSD, and windows 7 on the HDD, without losing my licenses.

    But before I make the switch, I want to remove all of my personal files/accounts from my HDD, without losing the OEM license ofcourse.

    How can I do all of this?

    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    Removing the OEM license

    I go on exactly what you posted; namely that it is an OEM license, not Retail

    Your question is very clear:

    I bought a Windows 10 DVD which had an OEM license. What is the procedure for
    removing the key from my current laptop and reactivating it in my another laptop?
