Hey everyone, I bought a PC a few years ago it was either refurbished or bought off craigslist, I don’t remember and have been upgrading it piece by piece.

You can transfer Full version Retail license on another computer and would still be able to get support from Microsoft. Let us know if you have more questions and we’ll answer it for you. If not, you can read this post, in which MiniTool shows you their differences. In addition, it also shows you how to transfer the Windows 10 license to another PC.
Microsoft has stopped its support for Windows 7 and Windows 10 becomes the first system choice for Windows users to install on their PCs. When it comes to Windows 10 installation, Windows 10 license is a problem that cannot be avoided. Microsoft offers Windows 10 licenses in many channels governed by different rules.
A Windows 10 Retail license refers to the license that you acquire when purchasing a copy of Windows 10 from Microsoft store or an authorized retailer. If you have a Windows 10 Retail license, you can transfer it to another computer, as long as you deactivate the old device. There is no limit on hardware. When original equipment manufacturers produce computers, they always pre-install OEM Windows before selling them.
It seems that the Windows 10 OEM license does not cost you money, but actually its cost is already included in the computer cost. Despite this, it is still cheaper than Windows 10 Retail license.
The product key isn’t transferable and you can’t use it to activate another installation. A Volume license is designed for a large business, education, and government scenario. Usually, a Volume license allows organizations to use one master product key to activate multiple computers without having to enter a different key for each computer. You can use this license multiple times on different computers, but you can’t transfer it with the device when the system changes ownership, and you’re not allowed to activate devices that aren’t part of the organization.
Companies and people who develop software using Microsoft technology can use MSDN license by subscribing it. Then, they can install and use copies of the Windows to design, develop, test, and demonstrate the program, but they must not use the software on a device or server in a production environment. In a word, the MSDN license cannot be used for commercial purposes.
It cannot be authorized to other users without Microsoft’s permission. See all comments 3. My device has the same partial product key as the device in the screenshot. It means my w10 Pro key is retail one. I’ve a sticker of that key! Windows Central Newsletter. Get the best of Windows Central in in your inbox, every day!
