License transfer

[Fijay1Z]

Hello, I currently own a Windows 7 Home OEM license that was updated to Windows 10 Home few years ago. When I was upgrading my computer (including motherboard) I managed to transfer my license and didn't have to buy a new one. On the Microsoft help chat I said my previous motherboard was damaged and they helped me move my license even though it was OEM. Now I'm planning to buy a laptop and I won't need my PC anymore. I was wondering if I could somehow buy a laptop without OS and transfer my license again and then update it to Windows 11 Home. Anyone knows the answer?

you can try. or just buy a cd key for $10.

If it's an OEM license, you may be able to use media creation tool to put windows on a black drive, or just migrate the drive to the new system. I've had no problems with simply swapping drives into a new system.

You can buy a custom laptop without an os or with Linux but you really wouldn't save much or any money. Dell used to sell without an os but not sure if that is still the case or not.
