Hello, you're starting a small shop and need a WIN 10 Pro license for your single computer. Here are your questions clarified:

- Which licenses can be transferred between computers? If your shop's PC fails and you need to replace it, you might be able to use the original key registers or similar methods.
- Where can I purchase such transferable licenses? Look for official retailers or authorized distributors.
- How do I perform this transfer? Follow the instructions provided by the license vendor or consult their support.
- Where can I find the most affordable options? Compare prices from different suppliers and consider buying in bulk.

Thanks!

The sole method for transferring licenses between computers is a retail Windows 10 license. OEM licenses are linked to one device and its motherboard, but they come at a higher cost.

This topic has been talked about frequently. Microsoft updated the policy so OEMs are not bound to a specific motherboard anymore, but to the user. If the user’s Windows account is connected to a Microsoft account, they can switch the motherboard later.

I’ll trust you if you reference the EULA section that clarifies the situation regarding switching boards and machines under an OEM license. Knowing there’s no official Microsoft confirmation that a retail key is irrelevant would change how I view it.

@NelizMastr here a link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help...are-change Additional details: https://www.groovypost.com/how-to-use-di...-licenses/ https://www.windowscentral.com/how-re-ac...are-change This option (switching motherboard) wasn't available before, but it became possible after the Anniversary Update. It occurs because the licensing system changed when you connected your account to a Microsoft Account. From that point, activation displays "Windows is activated with a digital license tied to your Microsoft account." Meaning the activation isn't linked to the hardware but to your account. A minor adjustment but helpful for some users. There are downsides — because it depends on your Microsoft account, you can't resell your Windows copy (though that's just speculation).

Confirming the details, the connection to a Microsoft account is sufficient to keep it as "not allowed." There are many valid reasons not to use one, but if you prefer creating an account for each platform, this suggests that for demonstration purposes, registering the OEM license via a Microsoft account would suffice. If that isn't enough, a retail option would be necessary.
