Hey all,
I apologize in advance if this thread already exists:
I have a custom built PC that I personally put together a couple years ago. When I assembled it, at the time, I installed Windows 7 Home Edition OEM, and then upgraded to Windows 10 thanks to the free offer from MS. I also fully reformatted it after so that just Windows 10 was running on it.
Now fast forward to today, I'm planning on selling off my tower, however I don't want to include my OS with it, for security reasons mainly.
My question is, can I transfer that license from my tower? As of now, whenever I reformat my PC, I always skip entering in a CD key because as soon as it connects to the internet my copy of windows 10 becomes validated.
Which, and correct me if I'm wrong, even if I sell my PC with my hard drives deleted and no OS present, as soon as someone goes to install windows 10, it'll simply reactivate my original license, right?
Sorry again if this sounds confusing, it's late where I am now
