Windows License Transfer Guide
A Windows license is a type of software license that allows a user of a computer to install and use the software on that computer. The license may be for a single copy of the software or for multiple copies.
Most software licenses allow you to use the software on a single computer, but some software licenses allow you to use the software on multiple computers. In order to use the software on multiple computers, you must first transfer the license to each computer.
Conclusion
After upgrading to Windows 10, some users may find that their license has not transferred over. Windows 10 licenses are tied to the hardware on which they are installed, and as such, must be transferred to a new machine if the user switches machines.
