I'm planning to replace the existing SSD within my Dell Optiplex pc. When I bought it, it came with an SSD that had a windows installation with pro license activated. Now, when I replace this with a new SSD, how do I transfer the license?

    How new is the optiplex? If it shipped with windows 8.0 or newer then the key is embedded in the bios and there is no transferring of the key.

    If it shipped with windows 7 then just activate it like normal over the phone and it should work.
