  1. transfer digital licenses between computers


    Hi

    I have 4 computers, 3 with win10 pro and one with home.

    I would like to transfer one of the computers to the home device as it's my newest laptop.

    I do not know what type of license I have, oem or retail etc... I know they were all upgraded from win7 to 8 to 10....

    When I see the key codes on the properties of My Computer, only the new laptop has a code which ends in xxx00AAOEM. So I am guessing the other three are NOT OEM...

    How can I find out if I can transfer any of my other three licenses to my new laptop?

    Thanks,

    Mark.

    :)

    Hi Nikola,

    Transferring a digital license to a new computer will depend on the type of Windows 10 license you have installed on your computer.

  3. Transfer digital license from old PC to New one.

    You would have to first ensure the Digital License is linked to your Microsoft Account. See instructions how to do that. You can then use the Troubleshooter on the new computer after installing Windows 10 to restore the license.


    Please note, if your license was upgraded from a OEM preinstalled Windows 7 or Windows 7 license, it is not transferable.

    Digital License after transfer license to new computer

    Uninstalling a product key does not deactivate the license, there is actually no deactivation method. You would still need to contact support to actually invalidate the license on the old machine, so it can reactivate on the new machine.

    Transferring the license is a step by step process.

    First, you either remove the license from the machine by formatting it.

    Install it on the new machine.

    Contact chat support, then reactivate.

    Where Digital license is handy is when you are still using the machine and reinstall Windows 10 and need to reactivate the license after a significant hardware change, such as a hard disk.
