Product: HP EliteBook 8570w Mobile Workstation
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

 So I recently upgraded my computer for christmas,

I took my hard drive out of my hp elitebook 8570w and put in my gaming pc. But now it says the microsoft key is not valid. I contacted microsoft and they said im going to need a new windows 10 pro key from the manufacor. I do have the product key and the serial number to verify it was one that i had. It would be awesome if a hp repesnitvie can help me.

Thanks!

Hi Brayden

 

HP has no official presence in this forum except for moderators.

Microsoft will not allow moving an OEM product key from one motherboard to a different motherboard.

 

Your EliteBook 8570w has a limited OEM product key.

 

Retail product keys can be moved to different motherboards.
