Windows 10: Transferring Pro license to new laptop.

I have a laptop with Windows 11 Pro on it. I purchased the Pro license separately from Microsoft and now wish to transfer it to my new laptop. The sticker on the old laptop has been worn down and I can't find the original 25 digit license for it. How would I go about transferring Pro to my new computer?

Transferring Pro License to New Laptop

The Activation troubleshooter doesn't seem to allow me to transfer my Pro license from my old laptop to my new (even though the license is shown in my Microsoft account, and I can select it). When buying a new machine, are we FORCED to use the crappy pre-installed
Home Signature version it came with? I'm not paying for a Pro version AGAIN - I want to use the one I bought, on just my one new laptop. Help?

One additional comment: The old laptop is going to have Linux Mint installed on it - and the new one is too, if I can't get my license fixed for Pro.

 

How can I transfer my Windows 10/11 Pro License from my old laptop to my new laptop?

Hi! How can I transfer the Windows 10/11 Pro License from my old laptop to my new laptop?

I bought Windows 10/11 Pro from Microsoft Store on December 27 2017 for my old laptop. How does it work? How can I get this transfer to my new laptop? Can someone provide step by step? I was reading other comments online and I don't feel confidence with other people posts. So tell me, if I go to accounts.microsoft.com? I logged in as my Microsoft account. Should I click on Devices tab? I looked at my devices and saw my old laptop on the list. Should I click on Remove Device? Will it free up the license? And go on my new laptop and go to Microsoft Store and will it activate the license on my new laptop?

 

Transferring Windows 10 pro License to new laptop

Hello All,

I recently bought a new laptop that comes with Windows 11 home single language pre-installed (OEM), I have my old laptop which has windows 10 Pro activated and it's linked to my MS account. I upgraded that from Microsoft store, which is retail license. my old laptop is about 7 years now, which I'm thinking about to recycle or to sell it. I need to transfer/activate my Windows 10 pro license from my old laptop to new laptop (which is windows 11) i.e. to change to windows 11 pro.

Can anyone please help me what all steps should I go through to perform this? Thanks!
