Reason I ask is I am getting a replacement laptop which has win 11 pro OEM on it.
I plan to use my win 11 PRO retail license from a broken laptop on the new laptop, swap in the NVME drive.
I was planning to sign into the OEM OS and link it to my online account first and it will activate.
Then put the NVME drive from the busted laptop with retail copy and transfer the license over and activate using the trouble shooter method.
Can MS recognize and maintain 2 hardware ID's with dual boot and oem and retail versions for the same exact machine? Or am I going to lose access to say the OEM license 11 pro?
Or is it going to be an explosive disaster and the whole system will get so confused nothing will activate.
