How to Transfer Your Windows 10 License to Another Computer
How to Transfer Your Windows 10 License to Another Computer
If you purchased a windows 10 retail licence and want to transfer to new computer, I will show you how to safely deactivate the windows 10 licence product key and the transfer to a new system and activate it.
Open command prompt as administrator by typing cmd in search.
Type following commands.
slmgr -dli (This will tell you the type of key you have.)
slmgr.vbs /upk (This will uninstall your key)
slmgr.vbs /cpky (This will clear any registry key with your licence)
slmgr.vbs /ipk (Your Key) (This will install and activate your windows 10 product key)
Follow these guide lines below:
If you upgrade from a retail copy of any of these versions of windows. Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1, the Windows 10 license will still have retail rights carried over from your previous version. But it can only be a one time transfer.
If you upgrade from an Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 license and it was preinstalled on a new computer as a OEM license, it cannot be transferred to another pc.
If you brought a full retail copy of Windows 10, you have the right to transfer it as many times as you want, but only on one pc at a time.

how to repair windows 7
This should be very helpful to people who want to transfer windows 10 retail product key. Smash the LIKE Button 👍
Thanks for the great information
Better idea… Install MX Linux on that other computer and forget about windows 10.
Interesting. I find that all of my OEM Windows 7 and Windows 8 installations that were freely upgraded to Windows 10 have magically become RETAIL licenses. Had this not prompted me to check, I would never have guessed.
lifetime? pour toujours ceci ?
I don't use my keys anymore. I just run a fake local kms server now, activate whatever I want whenever I want, fuck 'em! I'm done dealing with their bullshit. I paid for it I should be able to do what I want with it.
Ok . This its i interesting and its halpful
Yesterday I was trying to get my key from one device & found it was the same like on the other device, still key didn’t work with 20H2 disk image, I still had to use my account for activation
I followed the steps and i upgraded my windows home pc to windows 10 pro for free. This video saved me $125.00. I guess there really are some good people still out there. Respect to the guy that made this video.
Hi thanks alot
But I need the file $OEM$ of windows 10 20h2
To make it activated during instalation ,
If you have it
Please let me know the link
It's the OEM that can't be transferred. the Retail key can be reused no matter what
Okay … so recently my computer died after a power failure … would I be able to use my old key on a new machine ??? Or would I have to contact Microsoft about this
I am not sure but from my understanding it should be possible to do if the computer has died and is replaced
but since it is possible when just a part of the computer has failed I was just wondering if it would be the same case here
Slight thing confuses me (don't take much) I gave this a try just in case i needed to do a component upgrade or something else that needs a new key, i tried free pc audit and it gave me the same key as someone had already posted further down, Windows product key|VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T , this is not the same as the key i entered when i activated windows, is there a reason for this? or does the activation just change your original product key to this one ending in 3V66T?
very useful!
I've been doing this for quite some time now since I do new installations. 👌
Has anyone got a broken windows 7 PC with a licence key sticker. That has worked for me many times
I found it much easier to load Ubuntu Linux onto my laptop than continue with Windows. It goes so much faster now, with no cost involved. Maybe it’s not for everyone, but sure works for me !
Is it VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T
That's the generic key for a digital activation… don't think it will transfer
I have a Oem key, every 2 – 3 days i get the popup that i have to register, when i do that it will activate but the popup comes back after 3 days.
I bought eventually a retail key, activated it but again the popup shows after 3 days, when i check the licence key (with belarc adviser) it is not the key i activated. any idea why the key wont stick?
If you can do this you'll have no problem installing a Linux distro and saying goodbye to Windows forever…
I upgraded a machine from win 7 to win 8 pro by buying the full versios of win8 pro then using the free upgrade to win 10 later…. I want to transfer pro to another machine, only I was told to go out and buy a full copy of win10 by Microsoft and stop bothering them as it was "Impossible" to transfer
Always look forward to these vids deffo
There are ways to transfer oem keys as well, but it needs a bit more than just using a script. I have been successful by cloning the entire disk and use the copy on the other computer. The source of course must not connect to the internet.
Can I transfer my windows 10 digital license linked to my Microsoft account? Make video on too.
Thank you for this wonderful tweak…
Very useful information. I presume if I change my motherboard I will have to transfer my licence.
I ran the cmd slmgr -dli and it indicated that on two machines that they both had a Retail key. I then ran the utility mentioned in this video and it returned the generic key for Windows10 Pro that being VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T
. This is the key that one can install on Windows10 to automatically select Windows10 Pro during install but will only temporarily activate Windows10. Both of these machines fall into category 1 aka upgraded from a retail copy of Windows7.
One can also issue the slmgr /dlv but even that does not provide any really useful information.
Bro do u have insta I have some problem in pc
Thanks for your information, I looked for how to transfer the license (digital version) and did some research few months ago. In windows official site, they don't tech you how to do it but just a load of shit as usual in Microsoft's documents.
Well-Done Sir,
Very helpful Video
Thanks sir…. from india
Thank you for your knowledge Brian, I have learned a lot from your channel, your greatly appreciated!
thank you Britec something new that i did not know
Thanks. Tried the Free PC Audit program on three activated win10 pro machines and it shows the same product key on them all. Same result with couple of other key finders.
Also, Transfer Microsoft office license to another computer
Many Thanks Brian, from Brisbane Australia. Stay Safe Mate.
I always like CMD video. And this very easy and perfect way to do. You save money for buying new key.nice jobs and thanks to Brian.
Thank you, Sir. Now, this tutorial has been very useful and knowledgeable to me. Saved me some money. I can now redo my gaming PC.👍👍👍👍💖💖💖💖
I would like to do that, but my computer broke down,and I cannot deactivate. Nice information anyway.
Great tips as usual. Cheers!!
Thanks you very much buddy.
Just be warned if your purchased a "Retail version" from anyone other than Microsoft store this will not work. I purchased what I thought was a legit windows key from CDKeys UK & did the same that Britec has done & Windows will not register, I spoke to MS online & they said the key numbers & code gen are pirate copies- So be warned – it might not work!
