Hello,
I have windows 8 pro on my old laptop , However I recently bought a new computer and want to transfer it to that instead since I dont use my old laptop and dont want to pay for a new copy of windows 8.
I contacted the Microsoft support which of course was more then happy to help me BUT only if I payed 65 pounds since I was out of the 90 days warranty.
He told me they needed to leverage the Microsoft signing tool to be able to transfer the genuine key to my new computer.
I find that quite silly that I should need to pay another 65 pounds since I already have a copy..
Do you know how to do this license transfer on my own? I tried to search around but im unable to find a clear answer really...
Any suggestions are welcome : )
Thanks!
