Can I transfer my Windows 11/10 license to another computer?

This article will explain how users can find and transfer their Windows 11/10 product key to another computer or device, thus saving time and money.

Transferring a Windows 11/10 license key involves two steps. First, you need to determine what kind of license you have installed and then deactivate it on that computer. After that, you'll need to install the program on your new PC. This might sound complicated, but it's actually quite straightforward. We'll walk you through each step so anyone can accomplish this task with ease.

How to Transfer a Windows License to a New Computer

The first step in transferring your Windows license is to find out which version of Windows you currently have installed. You can do this by:

Step 1: Open the Start menu on your computer.

Step 2: Type in This PC, and then click on Properties.

Computer properties

Step 3. Under Windows edition, you'll see the version of Windows that's installed.

Check the edition of Windows

After you've identified which version of Windows you're using, you can determine whether it's transferable to another PC.

Transferable licenses include:

    • Any upgraded version of Windows 7/8/8.1 can only be transferred once.
    • Any full retail version of Windows 11/10 can be transferred multiple times.

Nontransferable licenses include:

    Any upgraded edition of OEM Windows 7/8/8.1 preinstalled by the manufacturer

If you've forgotten the product key from your old computer, or lost it, the next section will show you how to find it.

If you have a transferable version of Windows on your old computer, the next step is to uninstall it. You can do this by following these instructions:

Uninstall Windows: Type “Command Prompt” into your computer's search bar, then right-click on it and select “Run as administrator.” If a pop-up asks if you want to allow the program to make changes to your system, click “Yes.” When the command screen comes up, type “slmgr.vbs /upk” to uninstall your Windows license.

Run cmd as administrator

Next, you'll need to reactivate your Windows license on the new PC. Follow these instructions to reinstall:

Reactivate Windows: Install Windows on your computer with internet access. Once the installation is complete, search for Command Prompt on your computer and right-click on it, then select Run as administrator. When the command screen appears, type the following commands and hit Enter after each one: slmgr /ipk, followed by slmgr /dIv. This should reactivate your Windows license. If you're still unable to activate after following these steps, please reach out to Microsoft Support for further assistance.
