Transfer of license
Transfer of license
Hello, your current Windows 7 license was successfully ported to Windows 10 Home during an upgrade. You previously contacted Microsoft support about a damaged motherboard and they assisted with the transfer even though it was an OEM product. Regarding your plan to buy a new laptop, you can obtain a license for it and then upgrade to Windows 11 Home. Just ensure the new laptop is compatible with your existing hardware and licensing requirements.
You can purchase a tailored laptop with an operating system or Linux, but it won't offer much savings or cost reduction. Dell previously offered sales without an OS, though it's unclear if that's still available.
