Quick question on Windows 10

[Ben_165]

Hello, so I heard that if I type

slmgr.vbs /upk

into cmd it deletes my windows 10 product ID and I can use it on a different system. Is this true?

Heres the website I heard it from: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/transfer-windows-10-license-new-pc/

Yes, HERE is a step by step tutorial on removing the key using that command.

Yes, sort of.
It doesn't really do what people think, though.

It tells this particular PC that it has no license. That's it.
It does NOT phone home and tell the activation server farm that.

In the Microsoft licensing, there is no statement about having to delete the license from a previous PC. Only that you stop using it, and only use it on the new PC.

However, after the 1607 release, that is no longer really a consideration.
You can link the OS license key to a Microsoft account rather than to specific hardware.
