    How to transfer Win10 license from old PC to Parallels - computer was OEM Win7, upgraded to...


    Have a very old Dell PC that came with OEM Windows 7 Pro. I upgraded it to Windows 8 Pro with a paid license. Later, it was upgraded to Windows 10 Pro, with a free upgrade by Microsoft.Now I have Mac Mini M2, and have installed Parallels to run PC applications that I still need. What I need to know is whether my license is transferable, and how to do it.

    :)

    Transferring Win10 License from Retail to OEM

    So I just bought a new ASUS Laptop (64bit) with FreeDOS in it. I have a pirated copy of win7 ultimate 64bit (With OEM license) lying around so I installed it just to see how it goes. I know that pirated copies are eligible for 30 Day trial win10 upgrade.
    I have another HP 32 bit laptop with win10 Pro already installed and activated and it had a retail version of win7. I no longer need the HP laptop so I wanted to transfer its Win10 License to my ASUS laptop which will have the trial version. I read somewhere
    that OEM licensed laptops will invalidate my win10 license, Can transferring the retail version of win10 from HP to OEM ASUS work fine?

    ~Thank You

    upgraded Win7 retail to Win10. HOW do I install this license on NEW HARDWARE?

    I've upgraded my PC to WIN10 from Win7 with a retail(non-OEM) license.

    What are the steps i need to take to
    install and activate that license on a NEW PC?

    Upgrading OEM Win10 Home to MSDN Win10 Pro

    Moving to a new PC that I'm building myself. Currently running Dell OEM Win10 Home. New PC will have Win10 Pro, MSDN (multi-activation or retail keys) version.


    My backup software can do a "system transfer" that will allow me to transfer everything (OS and applications) to the new computer.


    Should I upgrade from OEM Home to MSDN Pro on the old computer and then transfer everything to the new computer?


    Or just install Win10 PRO MSDN on the new computer and use the backup software vendor's application transfer program to move the applications and registry entries?


    My goals are:

    1. Not have any "dinosaur bones" either from the OS on my SSD from the old OEM Home version on the new PRO version

    1. Not have to reinstall and reconfigure everything (which would take about a week)

    Thanks for any advice I can get...
