Tips and Tricks for Windows License Transfer
Once you’ve made the Windows license transfer to a new PC, you can do a few things to make sure the transfer goes smoothly and without any problems. Here are some tips and tricks you can do:
- Back up your data and apps before transferring Windows licenses. You can use third-party software like EaseUS Todo Backup to back up your data and apps easily and securely. You can also use the File History or Backup and Restore features available in Windows to back up your data.
- Make sure both the old PC and the new PC have a stable internet connection when transferring Windows licenses. If the internet connection is lost or slow, the Windows license transfer may fail or take a long time. You can also use a LAN cable to connect the two PCs if you don’t want to use a wireless network.
- Make sure both the old PC and the new PC have sufficient specifications to run Windows. If your new PC has lower specs than your old PC, Windows may not run properly or have compatibility issues. You can check the minimum specifications and recommendations for running Windows here.
- Make sure both the old PC and the new PC have the same or newer BIOS version. BIOS is the basic software that governs communication between the operating system and hardware. If the BIOS version is different, Windows may not be able to recognize your license or have activation problems. You can check your BIOS version by using the msinfo32 command in Run. You can also download and update the latest BIOS version from your PC manufacturer’s website.
