Transfer a Windows Licence to another PC
I have a new laptop running Windows 8.1 Standard.
My old laptop runs 8.1 Pro.
Is there a way to downgrade my old laptop to standard and upgrade my new one to pro using the existing licences ?
Thanks

The Pro version is not OEM.
No. it is not possible to use your existing old laptop license to new laptop. In new laptop you need to buy separate Upgrade license.

It's technically possible. Whether it's legal might depend on the jurisdiction in your country. In Europe, it would be legal, I did such things and Microsoft joyfully even helped me to activate those by phone even after telling them what exactly was being performed.

What you can do is to buy updgrade from win 8.1 to 8.1 Pro - it should be around 100 USB
