Hey there, Sailer! I got your question. Since you upgraded Laptop from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 last year, you should be able to run both versions together on your laptop and desktop. Just make sure they’re compatible with each other. Let me know if you need more details!

You can purchase W10 from the MS web store by clicking a few times; just use an 8GB+ USB thumb drive and wait.

It seems you're asking if it's feasible to transfer one operating system to another device, similar to moving software between computers. This process is often covered in detailed instructions.

If your license is retail, you're allowed to relocate it. However, for OEM licenses... not permitted.

I'm not sure which one matches because the OS was included with the purchase. It might be a retail version. I didn't mean to sound confused. The terms are hard for me to understand.

Conversely, it's 99.99% OEM—you can verify this: launch a CMD window and input 'slmgr.vbs', a new window will appear and you'll see the Description and Product Key Channel.

It indicates a retail setting. That suggests I could move it.

Consider moving it over and performing a fresh setup of W10 via the W8.1 key.

This situation means you'd need to set up Windows on your new computer, enable it there, and then your laptop's Windows would switch to a free version afterward.

It's advisable to avoid using the laptop online when the same license is active, as this could trigger deactivation and leave you with limited access.
