Any advice or tips on selling an old laptop? 

 

I was planning to contact Microsoft support, and see if there is any way to legally transfer an OS license from a microsoft account to the laptop as an OEM sort of deal from me, second hand, that it is originally a second hand pc with windows included.? I am probably overthinking too much on little details, and I don't rally know what's important.

 

I have, Upgraded the ram, from 8gb to 12gb, ddr2. * I think,* I purchased an entirely new charging brick with newly potent amperage, and Battery Cell. and Lastly, I purchased a 960GB SSD to boost the BOOT speed.

 

the laptop was originaly an ASUS N56VM from 2012 , i7- 3610QM

No need to transfer the license, delete everything, install fresh windows.

If i'm not mistaken, you can't transfer license for laptops.

The license can only be used for that laptop only.

My suggestion is reuse the original hdd, and take the ssd with you.
