Hi! Thank you for contacting Microsoft AnswerDesk Tech Support, my name is John Y, how can I provide you an excellent service today?

Hello John
5:01 pm
I have one simple question
5:01 pm
Sure, Marko
5:01 pm
I bought Win 10 home retail version, and I was told in the store (Croatia) that I can clean install them and move them from PC to PC how many times I want
5:01 pm
Is that true?
5:01 pm
For your question, no.
5:03 pm
So how many times it can be clean installed
5:03 pm
If you are able to activated the Windows 10 on a certains device, you are unable to transfer the installation to another device.
5:03 pm
No no no
5:04 pm
Not at the same time
5:04 pm
Product key is pre injected on the device itself.
5:04 pm
I have PC now, if I buy new one
5:04 pm
I can install my win 10 retail copy of win 10 on it
5:04 pm
That is the purpose of retail versions
5:04 pm
Wait.
5:05 pm
I'll explain fist.
5:05 pm
*first.
5:05 pm
You purchased a retail copy then installed it on a certain Pc.
5:06 pm
Which means it is already activated on the certain device.
5:06 pm
Now, the product key will be preinjected on the device itself.
5:06 pm
Modification the on the hardware of that device will deactivate the Windows which means if you install it again on that device, the product key will not be able to recognize.
5:07 pm
Now, your question is you have this retails copy and you want a clean install on it and move it on another Pc.
5:08 pm
yes
5:08 pm
It is possible but you will have to activate again the windows.
5:08 pm
That's okay, I activate them and use them normally
5:09 pm
OEM cannot be activated like that is that right?
5:09 pm
For OEM, that is right.
5:10 pm
So, I can activate my win 10 retail copy million times?
5:10 pm
There is no limit, lets say 20 times?
5:10 pm
No. You cannot activate the Windows millions time. System will blocked it if you abused the activation which means you will not be able to use the Windows again.
5:11 pm
There's a limit on that.
5:12 pm
That is my question, what is the limit
5:12 pm
I clean install windows on my PC few times a year,I wonder how many times I can do that?
5:12 pm
And in store where I bought them, they said there is no limit, only limit is to be on 1 pc at the same time.
5:13 pm
If you don't make any hardware changes you should not be prompted at any time to make the phone call. As the hardware profile used to activate will always be the same. If you make changes to the hardware, it is then that the hardware profile used for activation is changed and uses up one of the activations.
5:14 pm
But to answer the question of the activation limit, retail has a activation limit of 3 machines and OEM has a limit of only 1.
5:14 pm
Okay, thanks
5:14 pm
You are most welcome, Marko.
