Hello. I am buying a new laptop that comes with an OEM version of Windows 10 Home. My old laptop originally had Windows 7 Home Premium OEM installed. Later on I installed the free Windows 10 Home upgrade. Finally, I purchased and installed Windows 10 Pro from the Microsoft Store. This (I believe) gives me a Windows 10 Pro Digital License, tied to my Microsoft Account. In Windows Activation Settings, it says that "Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft Account."


Now, my question is: Would it be possible to transfer this Windows 10 Pro License to the new laptop, or are Windows 10 Pro and Home licenses separate from one another? Would the new laptop need to Pro already installed on it? Could I use the Activation Troubleshooter to make the transfer? Is there another way?


Thanks for your time.
