Mueva su clave Retail de Windows 10 u 11 a un nuevo ordenador en 10 minutos: desactive el PC antiguo, vincúlelo a su cuenta Microsoft y vuelva a activar en el nuevo hardware.

Paso 1 — Confirme que tiene una licencia Retail
Abra el Símbolo del sistema como administrador en el PC antiguo y ejecute: slmgr /dli. Busque el canal: RETAIL significa transferible, OEM significa vinculada a la placa base original.
Si compró su clave de Windows en LicenseVault, es Retail — todas nuestras claves lo son.
Paso 2 — Vincule el PC antiguo a una cuenta Microsoft
Vaya a Configuración → Cuentas → Su información → Iniciar sesión con una cuenta Microsoft. Esto vincula la licencia digital a su cuenta para que los servidores de Microsoft reconozcan la transferencia.
Paso 3 — Desactive el PC antiguo
Ejecute slmgr /upk para desinstalar la clave de producto y luego slmgr /cpky para eliminarla del registro. El PC antiguo volverá a Windows sin activar — sigue funcionando, pero con marca de agua y personalización desactivada.
Paso 4 — Instale Windows en el nuevo PC
Descargue la Media Creation Tool desde microsoft.com/software-download, cree un instalador USB e instale Windows. Cuando se le pida la clave, haga clic en «No tengo clave de producto» para instalar primero y activar después.
Inicie sesión con la misma cuenta Microsoft
Durante el OOBE, use la cuenta que estaba vinculada al PC antiguo. La licencia digital sigue a la cuenta.
Abra el solucionador de problemas de activación
Configuración → Sistema → Activación → Solucionar problemas → «He cambiado hardware en este dispositivo recientemente».
Seleccione el PC antiguo y haga clic en Activar
El solucionador muestra los dispositivos vinculados a su cuenta. Seleccione el antiguo, confirme que es el dispositivo que está reemplazando y Windows se activa de inmediato.
Si la activación falla
La mayoría de los fallos se resuelven introduciendo la clave de producto original manualmente en Configuración → Activación → Cambiar clave de producto. Si aun así falla con el error 0x803F7001, póngase en contacto con LicenseVault — todas las claves que vendemos tienen reemplazo de por vida.
