I would like to know the surrender process for Microsoft products such as Windows OS & Office for reinstallation to another pc. When I try to reinstall to another pc it say as already installed to another pc. So please help me for reinstallation.
If you have a retail or digital license for Office, you might be able to uninstall it from the old PC. You can uninstall it through the Control Panel.
When we reinstall any Microsoft Products it is required to deactivate automatically the the old one with permission. If so we will be no any further questions .
If your Windows license is retail or digital, you can deactivate it on the old PC. This can usually be done through the Activation settings in the Control Panel. However, this option might not be available for all types of Windows licenses.

windows has two types of licenses. OEM and Retail. If your computer came with software it's typically an OEM license. if you bought the Windows software yourself than its typically Retail and came with a product key.
OEM licenses are not transferable and may even limit hardware updates. Retail licenses usually are transferable. You must know your product key and whether it's digital.
to transfer you deactivate the old software first.
