Hi Luis80,
The individual Windows 8 product key is embedded on the systemboard. You will not be able to transfer the operating system to the New XPS 8700 as both the systems are having different operating system versions.

It's feasible, but I don't know if the product key will work. Upgrading to Windows 8.1, which is free, may help.
