Need a new Microsoft product code

@tamim aslamy

Here are a few steps you might consider:

1. Determine the License Type:

  • OEM licenses: If your original Microsoft product came preinstalled on your laptop (an OEM license), it’s generally tied to that specific machine and isn’t transferable.

  • Retail licenses: If you purchased a full (retail) copy, those are generally transferable to a new device (provided you remove it from the old one).

2. Check Your Microsoft Account:

  • Many modern Microsoft products (like Windows 10/11 or Office) now use digital licenses that are linked to your Microsoft account. Sign in to your account at account.microsoft.com to see if your license is tied to your new device.

  • Sometimes, reactivating a digital license simply requires your new PC to be connected to the internet and signing in with the same account.

3. Contact Microsoft Support:

  • If you’re not sure about the license type or need to transfer a retail license, the best course of action is to contact Microsoft Customer Support. They can verify your purchase history and help guide you through any license transfer or reactivation process.

  • Have your proof of purchase handy (receipt, order number, etc.) as well as any product key details from your original device.
