    The upgrade is both free and a full edition. The EULA doesn't explicitly say the "free" upgrade is transferable. They only write that the free upgrade is tied to the machine that you upgrade.

    Microsoft will of course not allow that. If you use your retail license to upgrade another machine, you'll lose the first one. Nothing else makes sense.
