worst mistake of my windows days: accepted a MS account, was then blocked forever from transferring a windows pro account from one pc to another. both the one that had home and the one that had pro are happily running linux, can't wait for MS to stop being an OS company

- wvenable 3y agoUsing my MS account is actually how I transferred my Windows Pro license. I unlicensed my old PC and then logged in on the new PC and licensed it there. (It was also originally a Windows 7 Pro license that I've moved through 4 different versions of Windows)
- polotics 3y agoI swear I really tried hard and looked very hard for information. I never could transfer that pro license from one computer to another, an inifinite maze of unhelpful Microsoft web pages, wasted hours on this.

I recently had to turn on my old PC and even though it's unlicensed it still works is if it was "Pro" licensed.
