How can I uninstall Windows 7 to use the license on a new construction

Hello

I am running a copy retail of Windows 7 Ultimate on a desktop PC I built myself.

I'm about to replace many items, for all intensive purposes, construction of a new computer. I want to continue to use my Windows 7 license on the new system, but some of the forum posts I've seen suggests that I would need to remove Windows 7 from my current set in place before reinstalling so as not to invalidate the license agreement.

My question is that Windows 7 has been a new installation on my current PC, there is no previous operating system to come back. How can I do to remove or disable at least Windows 7 so that I can use it on my new build?

To make things more complicated, I have recently booked 10 Windows download through the app and would this be installed on my new PC, once it is available. How can I transfer Windows 7 and make sure my Windows reserved 10 downloads for the new generation?

Please note, in order to transfer the Windows 7 Ultimate license, but a full commercial license. Also, since you will sit there, free upgrade offer for Windows 10 will not be valid for this computer. As long as you remove the Windows 7 and transfer then reselect, the new machine will be automatically eligible for the free upgrade.
