MICROSOFT WINDOWS LICENSE STICKER INSTALL
Retail Operating System License, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.īut Retail Licenses can also only be installed on one machine at any particular time. The above rule also applies to OEM System Builders Licenses. The OEM License/Product Key (preinstalled Operating Systems on Dell, HP, etc machines) is tied to the first machine it is installed on and dies when that machine dies. can not be used elsewhere, or in a dual boot with Windows the Laptop/Computer came with the Windows Operating System preinstalled (Dell, HP, Acer, etc), that Product Key that came with the Laptop/Computer is for the preinstalled OEM License and is non-transferable. The Qualifying Operating System License, whether it be Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, etc. is absorbed into the Windows 10 Upgrade during the installation process and becomes part of the Activated The Windows Product Key/License for the Qualifying Operating System, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, etc. Read through both lots of the information below: i mean original then i will use that laptop If there is still way to get product key from windows 10. Note : i already installed windows 8.1 and they still dont preactivate it as i see some topics that OEM auto activate it if we tick skip activating now i upgraded it to windows 10 so can i get product key from that windows. Yes i am sure not in battery compartment.oh i see that my luck is faded away.īut 1 more thing i had another hp laptop notebook 2000 and its windows 8 got error so i installed windows 8.1 without any clean install it just put that windows in wndows old side and i have a drive of 15 gb storage that has hp drivers maybe thatĬomes with it already but revealed after installing another windows.
