You delete it from the old PC and install clean on the new PC. Assuming of course you have the install media and a valid license key.

But if I take it off old PC do I not get that licence key that I can put on to new one?

No. Licensing and actual opertionwise, that won't work.

That preinstalled is licensed to the original PC/motherboard, and the license key is embedded into the motherboard.

Buy a new OS for the new PC.
