Duplicate Produktcode
You can apply the same product key more than once for a disc version of Windows 10, even if you previously used it on another older machine. However, when setting up a new computer, ensure you have a valid product key or license to avoid issues.
It seems the license is linked to the initial system's BIOS. Moving the key might not work, as it could be disabled on the original machine.
You don't purchase windows directly, you obtain a license to use them, which is linked to the personal computer you initially install it on. There are several methods to attempt transferring it, but if it comes with a brand new laptop bought online, it will function exclusively on that device.
To find out if it will deactivate, check the relevant settings or notifications related to the feature in question.
The product key might not work on your new computer since it’s tied to the old one. You may need to reinstall or generate a new key for the updated system.
You can try using the product key on your new Windows 7 computer, but it depends on whether the key is valid and compatible. Check the key details or contact the manufacturer for confirmation.
They mentioned that the original laptop comes with its operating system pre-installed, but the license is tied to the motherboard and cannot be moved.
