Windows 10: Retail windows licence

Hi,My old computer was damaged and I can no longer start it. I decided that it would be more financially beneficial to buy a new PC.I had a retail Windows 7 license on the old computer and I updated it to Windows 10. I have the license key. I wanted to update it to Windows 11, but my old PC did not meet the hardware requirements.Now I want to transfer this license to the new PC, but I cannot deactivate it on the old one because it is damaged. Can I still transfer it?And can I update it to Windows 11 on my new PC if it meets the requirements?Thank you for your time,PT

:)

Windows 10 Pro full retail licence

I have a PC running with a full Windows 10 Pro retail licence. I need to replace this PC (it is failing) with a new build and I understand I can use the same licence on the new PC if I uninstall the licence from my current PC. It is on a USB with a product
key.

I have two questions.

1. Can I use the MS Media Creation Tool 1909 to install Windows 10 Pro on my new PC and later enter my existing product key to activate Windows when I have fully loaded my programs onto my new PC or do I have to uninstall the licence key first.?
2. If I uninstall the licence key first from my old PC will it still be useable for a few days/week until I have fully loaded my new PC?
   

 

Uninstalled windows 10 Licence but i saved the Product ID and Not the licence code

Hi csandreas1

Do you intend using that licence on another PC?

Log into your Microsoft Account online, do you see that Windows 10 Licence listed there?

https://account.microsoft.com/account

If you see that listed there, you will be OK . .

Please Note, if you do intend to install that licence on another PC:

Is your Windows 10 licence based on an OEM licence (came pre-installed on a PC) or Retail (purchased separately to a PC)

If it is a Retail licence, then it will have transfer rights to a new PC or Motherboard, if it is OEM it will not . ..
