  1. Upgrade Win version with license from dead machine


    My US English Windows 10 Pro laptop has failed here in Brasil. I purchased a new Acer notebook but it has a single language windows 10 Home in Portuguese. Can I restore my English Win 10 Pro to my new notebook?

    :)

    Move windows 10 pro license from virtual machine to physical machine.

    I need to move a windows 10 pro license from a virtual machine to a physical machine. The license has been bought as windows 10 pro not upgrade etc. The thing is that the computer (Mac book pro) where the virtual machine used to live is now dead beyond
    repair and to expensive to use. So I want to install windows 10 on a dell laptop now but I cant deactivate the old license on the virtual machine. Any suggestions?

    SCCM: In Place upgrade Win 7to win 10 1903 License issue

    I was working on one task sequence for In Place Upgrade. Win 10 1709 to Win 10 1903 is working fine.

    But Win 7 to Win 10 1903 is getting failed during Upgrade Operating System step.

    I checked some of the links and added the KMS Client Keys (NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43) in upgrade operating system step.

    Also added one step to run vbs script.

    But Task Sequence is getting failed at this step.

    Command line Cscript.exe c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43 returned 3221549136

    In my environment, we are using KMS and we don't have a Volume license.

    Any advise how to resolve this issue.

    Upgrading from a Win 7 Home machine to a Win 10 Pro machine

    I have two machines, one has a Windows 7 Home COA (with a Win 10 Home digital license already connected to the mobo) and the other has a Windows 7 Pro COA (with a Win 10 Pro digital license connected to the mobo). I want to move the Win7 Home installation
    onto the other computer, and upgrade it to Win 10 Pro in the process. These OS versions are properly licensed for their respective machines. What's the procedure?

    Do I make a copy of the Win7 Home install on the Pro machine, then upgrade it with a thumb drive only there? Or do I upgrade it to Win 10 Home on the initial machine, the move the install to the Pro machine, and somehow do the unlicensed W10 Home to licensed
    W10 Pro process on the target machine?

    I actually did this in mid 2015 with identical constraints, and I don't remember the path. I do remember that there were a lot of wrong answers along that path and it wasted a lot of time.

    Thanks!
