Trying to summarise it as best I can ...
- Laptop #1 issued to Staff A.
- Staff A left recently.
- Laptop #1 taken over by Staff B.
- Staff B is employed by S’pore office but stationed overseas, left with the laptop already.
- Laptop #2 issued to Staff C, who joined shortly before Staff A left.
- Staff C now needs to handle Staff A’s duties, and everything including the setup (email, productivity programs which company pays subscription for, etc) in Laptop #1 is needed.
- Staff B doesn’t need all the things in the HDD actually.
- Staff B has suggested taking out the HDD from Laptop #1 and courier-ing it back to S’pore so Staff C can put it into Laptop #2, because courier-ing the whole Laptop #1 back to S’pore (+ couriering Laptop #2 over to Staff B since he’d still need a laptop) is not very practical
Anyone think this would be workable? I assume the HDD from Laptop #1 would work fine in Laptop #2 without any glitches / driver problems and whatnot given both laptops are the same model with the exact same specs. But what about the Windows 10 licence? Since Windows 10 licence is tagged to the motherboard ... will the licence automatically switch to Laptop #2’s licence? Or will it reject and turn into an ”unlicenced copy”? Anyone knows?
