I had just installed W10 to an older Silverstone home built desktop just to make use of it somehow. I used a key my son had purchased as a 2 key set and hadn't used. This didn't workout as the machine is too old and a lot of the hardware is not supported. It is working but not very well. I will just scrap it.
But I was hoping to transfer the wasted W10 key to a Acer Laptop a friend had given me because it was dead. It came with W8.0 and the license key on the bottom is unreadable. The first owner failed to write this down or create a recovery disk. A recovery disk is $70 from Acer. The hard drive it came with wouldn't boot so therefore a new hard drive and W10.
I see on my MS account page under My Devices both computers. I don't see an obvious way to de activate the Silverstone and active the Acer. I do see that I can "Remove" the Silverstone.
So my question is if I choose the Remove option will that de activate the Silverstone freeing up the license to use on the Acer?
Thank you for your time.
