    What kind of licence Win10 should I buy for VirtualBox transferable ?


    Hello,


    I am looking to have at least one licence Windows 10 on a VirtualBox. It is now not activated but I am thinking of making the purchase.

    Right now I would like to know what will happened if suddenly I changed the hardware update RAM in VirtualBox or if I move the vm to another host.

    I mean by that, do I need to buy a special type of Windows 10 licence to have it activated in a virtualbox environnement?


    Last question that fall within this subject, does the Windows 10 without a key will at some point lock itself or disabled security update?

    I just want to know if I need to hurry to buy the key or if I have a period of time whithin which I can test the setup.


    Thank's in advance for your help.


    PS: I know this subject is probably redundant and I am sorry about it but I would like to make sure before I spend the money...


    Best regards,

    :)

  2. Win10 licence transfer

    I have a retail licence for win10 Pro on an old machine (that is obsolete and no longer used) and I would like a clear step by step guide as to how I can transfer this to a new machine that is currently running win10 home. I've tried upgrading with a win8.1
    retail key but that did not work. Contacting the local Microsoft helpline did not help either as apparently "this is no longer possible" despite the fact it is in the EULA.

    Anyone know how to do this?

    Successful transfer of Win10 Pro digital licence

    Hi I would put it this way from what I have learned:
    If you have a windows 7 (or presumably, 8 or 8.1) RETAIL channel licence (i.e. you had the discs and were previously able to install on new machines as you needed - uninstalling any others so that there was only one copy in use) then yes.

    I had upgraded my old Win7 pro licence to Win10 Pro using the free upgrade offer from MS last year.

    Now I want to use win10 pro on the new machine (which comes with Win10 Home) but I only have a digital win10 pro licence on the old machine (plus my old Win7 Pro licence).

    The digital licence to win10 pro can apparently be 'transferred' to the new machine. I haven't done this yet but I am told this is effected by using a MSA (Microsoft account) and being logged into that account on both machines.

    You then use the activation troubleshooter to select the licence on the old machine or alternatively performing a plain upgrade on the new machine and either entering the original win7 pro key or calling MS to activate over the telephone.

    We'll see if it works. I'll post back.
