    Pro upgrade to new computer


    Hi all,

    Bought new Dell, upgraded to Win 10 Pro through the store, the Dell died young (motherboard, I guess). Bought new HP box, tried to transfer Pro package that has a digital license, but they want a key.

    Posted on Microsoft Answers how to do, they say can't transfer from one OEM computer to another one. I'm asking for a second opinion here...

    It seems I read an article on how to do, but, I can not find it on the web. Searched these forums too, but alas no definitive answer that I could find.

    If I can do a transfer, how can I find a key? If it is correct that I can not transfer, I will just whimper in corner for a day or two, then move on.

    Second opinion: one OEM-branded Product Key or disc will usually not work on a different brand machine. And the OEM or System Builder version is tied to the computer it is first installed on, can't be transferred.

    Found the article I was looking for, not related to my question. Done here, thanks.
