I recently bought a pre-built pc, and it comes with a copy of windows 10 on it. I am giving my current pc, that has windows 10 to my brother.
I am wondering how to give him his own fresh copy of windows, so he is not registered under my Microsoft account.
The new computer that I just bought has a 32Gb M.2 ssd installed. I was planning on giving the 32 gb ssd to my brother, and I would take the 500gb ssd out of my current computer.
I was first going to install windows on the 32gb ssd under my Microsoft account, that way my Microsoft account is linked to that computer for warranty and support purposes. Then I would pull out the 32gb ssd and put it in my current computer, and swap it with the 500gb ssd and put it in my new computer.
However, if I do this, my brother would have windows 10 under MY Microsoft account, not his own. I think i'm overthinking this whole process, but do you guys know the best way about making sure we have our own separate Microsoft accounts when flip flopping hardware like this? Can I "transfer ownership" of windows 10?
