Windows 8 Pro Pack upgrade license is transferable to another computer?

I would try Media Center on a cheap PC came with Windows standard 8.  Unfortunately, this requires an expensive upgrade of $100.   I need a machine that can record 2 channels OTA and read at the same time a registered program.  If this machine proves to be insufficient for the task can transfer the update of Pro Pack to another machine to Windows 8?  I don't want to keep throwing $100 Pro pack licenses until I found a machine that can do the job.

Furthermore, if an OEM full version of Pro was used (which is apparently transferable under the terms of the new license agreement) how can that be placed on existing product code, embedded in the UEFI?  And, how can the original standard version be recovered later to return the machine to it's original OEM license when the Pro Pack is moved?

Yes, you can transfer it, you must first uninstall it.

Media Center - delete and go back to Windows 8 Pro - Windows

Windows 8 OEM System Builder License can clean only installs, you will not be able to use add features to the OEM key.

If you need another machine to Pro Pack, use simply add features once you have removed the key from the previous installation of Windows 8.

You will need to reactivate by phone:

Activation of the phone:

1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4

2. then press the ENTER"" key.

3. Select your "country" in the list.

4. choose the option "activate phone".

5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

    When I install a preinstalled (OEM) or the retail version of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 Windows 10 license, this license OEM to remain or become a retail license?

    If you upgrade an OEM or retail version of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 for the free Windows 10 update this summer, the license is consumed in it. Because the free update is derived from the basic qualification license, Windows 10 will be that too many licenses.

    If you are upgrading a retail version, it carries the rights to a commercial version.

    If you upgrade an OEM version, it carries the rights of an OEM version.

    Full version (retail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM of Windows versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    Thank you!!

    You can add the disk with Xp Pro as a slave. You may need to change the jumper settings. However, you cannot take a drive with an operating system that has been installed on another computer and start to the new computer. In 15 years of computer technology I couldn't do it only once and it was with a Vista operating system. However, Windows is designed to not allow that.

    The most likely reason that you are denied access to the files on the disk with Pro is that you will need to take ownership of the files.
