Can I transfer a Windows 7 license to another computer?

answer

The short answer is no, you cannot transfer a Windows 7 license to another computer. Microsoft does not allow you to move a license from one computer to another, even if you own both computers.

This is because each license is linked to the computer it was originally installed on, and it cannot be transferred or reused on a different computer. If you want to use Windows 7 on a different computer, then you need to purchase a new copy of Windows 7.

It is important to note that Microsoft does not provide a way to transfer a license from one computer to another, even if you own both computers. This means that if you have a valid Windows 7 license on one computer, you cannot use it to install Windows 7 on another computer.

This also applies to OEM licenses. OEM licenses are licenses that are bundled with a new computer, and they are usually cheaper than retail licenses. These licenses cannot be transferred either. If you have an OEM license, you can only use it on the original computer it was bundled with. If you want to use Windows 7 on a different computer, then you need to purchase a new copy of Windows 7.

It is also important to note that Microsoft does not provide any way to transfer a license from an old computer to a new one, even if the old computer is no longer being used. This means that if you want to upgrade your computer, for example, you will need to purchase a new license for Windows 7.

In conclusion, you cannot transfer a Windows 7 license from one computer to another, even if you own both computers. Microsoft does not provide any way to do this, and you will need to purchase a new copy of Windows 7 if you want to use it on a different computer.
