Confirming your steps to retain the Windows 10 license throughout significant upgrades.
Confirming your steps to retain the Windows 10 license throughout significant upgrades.
I have already done system transfer of a Windows 7 retail to 10 upgrade. You need to contact MS via chat or phone, and have your Windows 7 product key ready. They fixed it then. To simplify things, and not make the MS person think that the old computer continues to be used, you can say that your system broke and can't be repaired, so you replaced it. That said, the other system should never be turned on while connected on the Internet until you format the drive, else it will reactivate, and deactivate your current system license, and if they fight for activation, you can black list your license.
