    Win 10 Pro retail license transfer product key


    I had a retail license of Windows 10 Pro upgraded from a retail license of Windows 7 Professional years ago on an HP PC that recently died. When the replacement an LG PC arrived, I transferred the Win 10 Pro image from the HP to the LG, using Macrium Reflect. However, the product key reported by the HP system before the transfer doesn't match the product key reported by the LG system after the transfer. Which product key is correct, and do I need to do something with Microsoft to ensure that its record of the license info is correct?

    :)

    Upgrade from Home to Pro by transferring a retail license


    Thanks for all the replies! I'm operating under these assumptions: HOW do I transfer windows (retail license) after upgrading to Windows - Windows 10 Forums by which the licence in question would be transferable.

    I don't have the install disk because I bought the .iso. I do have the original MSFT emails with the product keys. But I think NavyLCDR is right, I'll try first to upgrade using the Windows 8 product key. Then I'll contact MSFT. If that fails, I'll try with NavyLCDR's second suggestion. If everything else fails, I think I'm gonna use sinful activation methods. I don't feel like paying again for a full licence.

    Upgrade from Home to Pro by transferring a retail license


    pcuron,
    1. You do NOT have a Win 10 Pro license. You have a retail Win 8 (Pro ?) license which you used to upgrade to Win 10 Pro in your stolen laptop.
    2. Even with a Retail license, the same rule applies ....... one key, one install.
    Your Win 8 Pro retail key is tied up to your stolen laptop. You can NOT use the same key to install in another
    computer.

    That's how I understand it.
    If I am wrong, I am sure someone will correct me.
