I bought new PC hardware and want to transfer my Windows 10 license from my old computer (it was originally purchased as OEM Windows 7 and then upgraded to Windows 10 for free via Microsoft). This existing windows 10 license is currently installed on a 256 GB SSD.
Can I transfer this license to my new PC build (2TB 970 EVO Plus) with new MOBO and RAM? If so, how do I accomplish this?
*Note: I don't care about any files and I expect to start from scratch and install everything new and plan to reformat the 256GB SSD when done.
*Note: My windows 10 license is not currently associated with my Microsoft account as it's a local account setup on existing computer.
