  1. Transferring of windows license


    Hi all, recently I would like to upgrade my computer from a HDD to a M.2 NVMe SSD for the boot drive. I plan to install windows again so that I can have a fresh start. But the problem is I don’t know how to port the existing license of Windows 10 pro to the new installation. Since I signed in Windows using Microsoft account, the license page signifies me that the license is digital and linked with my Microsoft account, does that mean I just need to sign in to the new Windows installation and the license will be applied automagically? Thanks in advance!

    :)

  2. Windows 10 license transfer

    Thanks Andre.

    i bought the license. My laptop was originally loaded with win 7 and was upgraded free couple of months.

    in this case, if i understand you correctly, i can transfer with below steps. Right.?

    let me buy my new laptop and try below.

    and to my question do you have an update.

    does OS upgrades if my activation key is changed.

    thanks

    Windows 10 license transfer

    There is no actual deactivation method.

    You can only transfer the license if its a retail license. If it came with the laptop you can't transfer it.

    You can first uninstall the key.

    Open Start, type: cmd

    Right click CMD

    Click Run as administrator

    At the command prompt, type:

    slmgr -upk

    Hit Enter

    Next, proceed to upgrade the new laptop:


    You might need to reactivate by chat support since the license was previously in use.
