Transfer Windows 8 License to another computer

I did these steps to transfer the license to my new desktop PC.

First on my old laptop which was connected to internet I deactivated the genuine copy by doing these steps :

• Open an elevated command prompt,
• In the elevated command prompt enter slmgr.vbs /upk

You will get a pop up windows saying " Uninstalled product key successfully"


I then go to my new PC and open an elevated command prompt,

enter Win + R -> slui 4.
