Do I Have to Buy Another Copy of Windows OS If I Want to Install It on Another Computer?
I bought a new computer because my old computer running Windows 10 has been used for 7 years and is very slow. I want to use the same OS on my new computer. Do I have to buy another copy of Windows OS if I want to install it on another computer?

No, you do not have to buy another Windows operating system if you want to install it on another computer.
If you want to install your operating system on another computer, you can clone your Windows to another computer or perform a universal restore.
At this point, do you think it is easier to clone your Windows to another computer? However, this is not the case. If you clone your OS to another PC, you may encounter a hardware compatibility issue or Windows activation problem.
Therefore, it is better to perform a universal restore with professional universal restore software, such as EaseUS Todo Backup. To do a universal restore, you should create a system image first, then store it on an external drive, and finally restore it onto a new computer.
EaseUS Todo Backup is an all-in-one backup and restore utility compatible for Windows 11/10/8/7. It enables you to create a Windows 10 system image backup on an external hard drive. In addition, it lets you back up your files, systems, disks, and partitions. You can also use it to create an iso image of your existing operating system and install Windows 10 on a hard drive for another computer.
You do not have to buy another copy of Windows if you want to install it on another computer. You only need to perform a universal restore using EaseUS Todo Backup.
