Apologies for my poor English. I have a Windows 11 Home (KW9-00664) license. How long must I wait after activating it on my current machine before I can transfer the license to another one?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Licensing and activation

There is no official time period you must wait before moving a retail Windows licence to a new PC, the only problem you may see is if you transfer the license many times within a short time period.

On the new PC, go to the activation settings window, then click Troubleshoot - I changed my hardware and on the resulting list you should see the original PC listed to move the Windows licence to the new PC.
