How to Transfer your Windows 10 License to a New Computer
Introduction:
If you have an old PC that you no longer use, or that no longer works, it is possible to transfer Windows to a new PC and have a legitimate Windows installation without buying a new license. Of course, as is the case with Microsoft, it is more complicated to transfer Windows than it should be.
What complicates the transfer is that there are different license levels for Windows.

• Uninstall the product key
- this is the easiest solution for disabling the Windows license. This method does not inform Microsoft Activation Servers that the license is no longer used on the first PC, instead, it will avoid conflicts if Microsoft's activation servers should detect the license used on multiple systems.
• Format the computer
