Unzwar I have a question I have a valid Windows 10 Home License on my laptop which is connected to my Microsoft account. Now I get from my friend but his old PC and wanted to ask if I sign up there on the new PC with my Microsoft account if I can easily activate the license on the new computer.

Lo

No, the license is tied to your motherboard

Pa

I can't reactivate it? I mean, after all, I connected it to my account and everything

Ab

What? No she is not?!

Pa

So what now I'm confused

pa

That's fine! If you have your product key and everything else needed then you just have to enter the key on the new PC and it should work!

The other computer then had no license anymore.

Pa

But then I do not need more thanks for the answer!

Br

You can only use a license on one device at a time.

Lo

But she is, when changing from Mb you have to use each time a new one

Pa

I just read my key I have to insert the installed key at the new PC or? Have just once the product ID and the installed key

Pa

I have ever changed the motherboard on my laptop and keep it that does not make any sense

pa

The step by step instructions on your new PC will help you and tell you exactly what key you need!

Lo

I have to buy it every time

Pa

Ah okay thanks again a question would like to completely make sure I have to "log out" on the old PC but not somehow or separate the key of this PC or? Just enter the key in the new one?

pa

Yes, with me I just had to enter it and not log out first. Just enter the key!

Pa

Finally I can sleep soundly worried about it because such keys can be expensive: / Have also found out which key I have to enter I have to enter the installed keys in the setup.
