Transferring of Windows Retail Key from OLD PC to New PC

Hi there,

I am having windows retail key installed in Old Laptop. Now I want to transfer windows key to newly procured desktop. Could you please help me to transfer the key to new PC to activate it.

Activate new device with old device' product key

No, you can't do what you are suggesting, because the Windows 10 Pro license you mentioned is pre-loaded on the old machine. OEM licenses as they are called are not transferable. Only if the Windows 10 Pro was a retail store bought license would be able
to do that. Otherwise, you have to purchase an entirely new full version license for the Windows 10 Home computer you now have.

Open Start > Settings > Update & security > Activation > Go to Store

Click the $99 button the make your purchase the follow the on screen instructions.

Windows 10 Activation Error (Transferring W10 Key to new PC)

Hi,

I appreciate the reply but this did not work for me. The article seems to be more directed to helping people upgrade from Home to Pro but i'm just trying to reactivate my old Home licence to this PC. Either way, it did not work, while disconnected from the
internet I did the steps listed and after putting in my key at the end I just get the message:

We can't activate Windows on this device because our activation servers aren't available a the moment. Make sure that youre connected to the internet and we'll automatically try to activate windows when the service becomes available . Error code: 0x80072EE7

I'm just not sure why my key works but doesn't activate, it was working just fine on the other PC with the exact same version of windows 10 home, and as noted in my previous posts the steps to unlink and link the key to a new PC worked fine, it did say it successfully
installed. Just seems to not want to activate because it thinks its invalid.

Thanks, Jon.
