    Transfer of Win10 Pro RETAIL edition digital license to new pc does not work


    Hi,I have a problem with activating a RETAIL Win10 Pro on a new PC. From everything I read and all the troubleshooting manuals it should work, but it doesn't.1. I have Win 10 Pro RETAIL installed on the previous PC. When I do "slmgr -dli" in CMD, the window contains German edition:> Name: WindowsR, Professional edition> Beschreibung: WindowsR Operating System, RETAIL channel> Teil-Product Key: 3V66T> Lizenzstatus: Lizensiert2. The license is connected to a microsoft account. In "Settings > Update&Security > Activation" it says:> Edition: Windows 10 Pro> Aktivi

    :)

    Transferring Digital License to New PC

    I want to transfer a retail digital license for Windows 10 Home Edition, purchased online, from my Lenovo desktop, which stopped working, to a new Dell desktop.

    I have tried all of the suggestions and MS Support, but I can't get through to talk to an actual person.

    I am in Egypt.

    Any suggestions?

    Transfer upgraded WIN10 Pro license to new PC

    I upgraded my WIN7 PRO Retail License to WIN10 PRO during the free upgrade window following the launch of WIN10.

    This answer from MIcrosoft indicates that I may transfer this license to an new PC (new HW without OS):

    Upgrade to Win 10 from Win 7 retail - still retail?

    Can anyone tell me how to proceed to be sure this will work?

    Thanks,

    Eirik D.

    Transfer Retail License to New PC

    I have a Windows 7 PRO Retail license that was upgraded to Windows 10 PRO during the free upgrade period.
    My understanding after reading on MS Forum is that my license is now Windows 10 PRO RETAIL and can be transferred to another PC. I believe the license was also converted to digital and tied to my Microsoft account.
    This license ran on a Mac and I deactivated the license using slmgr.vbs /upk which completed successfully. I then removed the bootcamp partition from the Mac.

    I have an Alienware PC that came with Windows 10 Home. I'd like to use the Windows 10 PRO license on the Alienware PC, but using Microsoft Store or Activation->Change Product Key methods, keeps asking for a Product Key. How can I transfer the Windows 10
    PRO license to the Alienware PC?

    Thanks!
