Moving installed instance of windows to another computer?

Question

So recently i had to move my windows from one hard drive to another one, i was not worried about oem license because i was just moving it from one hard drive on the same laptop to another drive on the same laptop, now i was wondering if someone want to do this with two laptops, is it possible to re-register the moved windows to the new on using the latests activation key? (located in properties of my computer)

Answer 1

I am not sure if I understand your question.

If it is about moving the Windows OEM license, then yes, you can move it to a new machine - you would have to call a Microsoft automated number and dial in the installation ID. Technically that is not allowed, but from my experience with moving (by now over 10) licenses to new motherboards, an automated call does the trick and Windows reactivates without hassle.
