Windows 10: Transferring an upgraded license between two virtual machines.

I have read the post Transferring the Windows 10 License from one VM to another. Unfortunately; it does not seem to work for me.I bought a retail license for Windows 8 and was able to use it to activate a new Windows 11 virtual machine while installing Parallels. Now; I'm moving off Parallels to VMware Fusion 13, due to VMware not requiring a subscription. The license was not accepted on the new virtual machine.Upon calling Windows tech support, I was told that my retail license could not be transferred, because the upgrade program was over. I was told I'd need to buy another license. I'm hesi

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?

 

Can Virtual Machines be transferable between machines?

tl;dr, sorry

Virtual machines, no. They are installed on their host computer.

Guest operating systems, yes. They are simply a very large VHDX file (or the equivalent in VirtualBox or VMWare) that can be moved from machine to machine. Of course, you need to do this according to the virtual machine's instructions.

But you must pay attention to the licensing. For the purposes of activation, a virtual machine is a separate computer.

 

Transferring Windows 10 license to virtual machine

Hello

I've just built a server and set up a KVM hypervisor on it, and now I want to transfer a little-used mini PC with a Window 10 license to a VM. What implications are there? Can I just virtualize the machine and continue with the VM, since I have a licensed
copy of Windows 10 on the mini PC?

Thanks in advance
