Friend recently upgraded their computer.
Hi there, your friend just completed a fresh PC setup with genuine Windows installed on his previous machine. To transfer the operating system to his new PC, he should follow the proper installation steps using the original Windows media or a bootable USB drive.
For non-OEM units, he can use ProduKey to pull out the Windows key and install it on the new setup. If it's OEM, he'll need to talk to a Microsoft support rep and explain the issue—like the motherboard failed on the previous PC and he wants to swap it but the key won't fit.
