    Atoms are used in Tablets mainly aren't they? 2012 Model Tablet will be traded, dumped after 6 years I would think. The battery is builtin in most of them and that generally requires a factory approved service to renew/replace a battery. This cost would make it a throwaway unit.:mad: I have a Lenovo TAB 3 that falls into this category. :eek:

    They'll most likely be OEM licenses, so no, they can not be transferred.

    Does this mean that if I purchase a full icense of Win 10, it can be transferred if my machine gives up or if MS stops supporting my hardware configuration? I am asking this as I have a 7 year old desktop, which is my main computer. :confused:

    Full version (Retail): Includes transfer rights to another computer.

    An upgrade version (Retail) does also have this right, but requires a previous qualifying version of Windows.

    The 2nd one would be your option (cheaper than option 1).
