Itselläni nyt vastaavanlainen tilanne edessä eli haluaisin siirtää Windows 10 uuteen koneeseen vanhasta. Huomasin kuitenkin, että vanhan pöytäkoneen ostokuitilla lukee, että Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64 bit, OEM, joten tarkoittaako tämä siis käytännössä sitä, ettei siirto uuteen koneeseen ole mahdollista?
(en ole tätä itse testannut)
Windows 11 Forum:
"If you have a current OEM license on the old computer, it likely will not transfer via the Microsoft account. However, to convert the OEM license to a retail license all you have to do is change the OEM product key on the old computer to the generic retail product key for that edition of Windows. Product keys for Windows 11 are exactly the same as Windows 10 product keys."
"First, it only really works if you are using a Microsoft Account. Using a local account it won't make much difference. You have a Lenovo laptop which probably has Windows activated with the OEM product key which is stored in BIOS. In System Settings -> Activation, is a button to change the product key. Change the product key to the generic retail product key for that edition of Windows (Windows 10 and 11 use the same product keys). That will change the Windows license to retail and you can then use the activation troubleshooter on a new computer, with you Microsoft account, to copy that retail license from the old computer to the new computer. Note, it copies the license, it does not remove the license from the old computer."

Jos sinulla on Home-versio, älä anna vahingossa Pro-version tuoteavainta, koska silloin Home-versio päivitetään Pro-versioksi, mutta geneerinen tuoteavain ei aktivoi sitä.

Generic Product Keys to Install or Upgrade Windows 11 Editions
Sitten vanhassa koneessa kirjaudu Microsoft-tilille, jos se ei ole käytössä.
Uudessa koneessa (tai koneeseen vaihdettu emolevy) Windowsin aktivointi suoritetaan aktivoinnin vianmäärityksen avulla.
"We can't activate Windows on this device because the product key was already used on another device. If you think it wasn't used on another device, select Troubleshoot below. Error code: 0xC004C008"
Activation > Troubleshoot > "I recently changed hardware on this device"
From the list of devices linked to your Microsoft account, check "This is the device that I'm using at the moment" for the device name you made hardware changes to, and click/tap on Activate.

How to Activate Windows 11 using Digital License | Reactivate Windows After Hardware Change
Windows 11 Forum: "A digital license is a method of activation in Windows 11 that doesn't require you to enter a product key. Digital licenses are associated with your hardware and linked to your Microsoft account. Windows will normally automatically activate once your PC is connected to the internet and you sign in to your Microsoft account. If you make significant hardware changes on your device, such as replacing your motherboard, Windows will no longer find a license that matches your device, and you will need to reactivate Windows using the Activation troubleshooter."
