Windows 10: Transfer Windows 10 Pro digital license to new PC build

I have built a new PC and I am trying to transfer my Windows 10 Pro license from my existing PC to the new one. Unfortunately, the license is not activating properly. I have deactivated the previous license by running the command "slmgr /upk" in an elevated (Run as Administrator) command prompt.


I can see that the license is now deactivated given the fact that the old PC is now asking me to activate. I still cannot, however, activate the license on the new PC. The original license was a Windows 7 Home Edition license that I had upgraded to Windows 10 Pro for free over the past few years. I am unable to use that original license as it's for a Home Edition license and not a Pro. I was, however, allowed to upgrade to Pro when Microsoft was offering the free upgrades. I also transferred the license to my Microsoft Account, so I do not have a product key associated with Windows 10 Pro.


My plan is to transfer the SSD and HDDs in the old PC to the new and not use the old PC. I am unable, however, to activate the new PC. Any help would be much appreciated.

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.

• Use a Digital
  License to Manage and Activate Windows 10 Anniversary Update

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