uninstall license

Discussions about uninstalling a Windows license often involve transferring a digital license to another device or user. In one thread, a user purchased a Windows 11 Pro license directly from Microsoft and activated it on a laptop. They asked if the license could be transferred to the new owner when selling the laptop. Microsoft support indicated that licenses bought directly from Microsoft are tied to the purchaser's Microsoft account and cannot be reassigned, unlike licenses from third-party retailers. This highlights the importance of understanding license transfer policies before selling hardware.
