Windows 10: Transferring a Win 10 License

So I have this old laptop with an active W10 license, unfortunately the laptop no longer functions and does not boot up

Now I want to use that license on another PC but when I tried entering it I received an message that the key was no good?


Any suggestions?

Transfer Win 10 license to a new PC

Hello,

I bought a new PC and read that I can transfer my Windows 10 license to it and I have a few questions.

#1

Few years ago I used Win 7 Pro license to install my two PC's.

When FREE update came I upgraded both of them to Windows 10 x64 PRO.

Yesterday I assembled a new PC which will replace one of them and I want to transfer the license to it from the one it is replacing.

The question is if I transfer the activation license will I lose the activation on the second PC or not?

What are the steps to do the actual license transfer?
