    Transfer of Windows 10 Pro license from a non working device to a new one


    My device display suddenly stopped working...and I bought a new device. My original device had a Win 10 Home but I had a retail copy of Win 7 Ultimate which I used to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro.



    I had gone to accounts and I see that my previous device has Win 10 Pro license and my current device has the Windows 10 Core Single Language. While the page does provide an option to delete the previous device, I cannot find an option to transfer the Win 10 Pro from my old device to the new one. I'm presuming the previous device will revert to its original OEM license it was installed with post the transfer.


    TIA

    :)

    transferring license to another device

    You can't because the free upgrade originated from a preinstalled OEM Windows 8.1 license. You will need to purchase a new full Windows 10 license for the other device.

    Can I transfer Windows 10 Pro License under Volume License to a new device?

    Is this legal if we do the transfer/re-assign just like the FPP License?

    Our company is in the process of acquiring Microsoft License. Upon reading some articles and forum, Volume License is non-transferrable and it is like an OEM license where the license Live and Dies on that device in which I think this is not fair for us
    when a pc unexpectedly crashes due to hardware failure, we cannot re-use or transfer the license to another device.

    Thanks
