Firstly, If you purchase a new PC, It will come with a pre-activated  OS.

In terms of your request, It's not as simple as cloning your current Windows Installation and Installing the Image on another PC. The OS Is tied to the hardware It's Installed on, such as drivers dedicated to the MOBO and when migrating to another system, the OS cannot Identify the new hardware particularly the storage controller's communication with the HDD. As such and along with other Issues, the OS may fail to boot.


Furthermore, If your upgrade Is OEM-based, the license/activation Is also tied to the hardware It's Installed on.

Thx for the reply! I know my windows is not OEM based.
