Hello everyone!
I have seen many threads across the internet regarding my question and I am still confused on how I can do this. I wish to have a up-to-date solution. So here is my situation:
1. I purchased a RETAIL copy of Windows 8.1 (back in 2014?) [I used the CMD command slmgr -dli to find this]
1.2. I still have the DVD and key for the purchased Windows 8.1.
2. I have upgraded it to Windows 10 and using the above said command it says Retail Channel (I assume this means it is retail version of windows 10).
3. Under Settings > Update and Security > Activation it says: Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account.
All my PCs are custom made.
Now I wish to make a new PC rig (new Motherboard, SSD, HDD, GPU, everything. Completely separate build).
The build will be coming with a Trial version of Windows 10 (according to the PC store)
The old rig will be scrapped.
Is there a way to transfer the Windows license from the old rig to the new one?
I am open to any suggestions and would prefer the cheapest and least tedious method.
Thank you in advance!
