    Asking us how to potentially circumvent end user license agreement is probably not permitted here.

    Otherwise ymmv

    No you can't transfer licenses like that! It seems you're used to Android/iOS style of purchased apps/services!
    But you can buy licenses from ebay for cheap choose either Pro or LTSC version for best experience!

    If you have an retail copy of Windows I believe you can deactivate and reactivate on a new computer., Not with OEM preinstalled Windows though.
