Using my Win10 Pro embedded licence on a different machine
I have an Inspiron 15 7560 which came with a licence for Win10 Pro. My company overwrote that with a their own copy of Win10 Enterprise.
Can I use the Pro licence on another machine? I have a Win 10 Home machine, which I really want to upgrade to Pro so I can RDP to it, but I can't justify spending £115 just for that one feature.
IF I can legally use that currently unused licence, how do I get the key? Apparently it's somehow embedded in the motherboard.
Thanks,
Chris

No - the license is only for the system on which it shipped. You cannot use it on another system.
Retail licenses CAN be transferred under some circumstances - OEM licenses cannot.

OK, thanks, I'll have to think of another way or wait for some offer.
