Hi @Renjie Zhang
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A Forum.
I understand that your Lenovo laptop, which had Visual Studio installed, is no longer functional and you’d like to reinstall Visual Studio on your new Dell laptop.
Based on the resources and official documentation I was able to research, you should be able to reinstall Visual Studio on another device, as long as you're the only one using it. Here's how you can try reinstalling:
- Visit the Visual Studio Downloads page.
- Sign in using the same Microsoft account you used previously.
- Download and install the edition you originally used.
- After installation, sign in again with your Microsoft account to activate your license.
If, after trying these steps, you still can't reinstall or you encounter any errors, I kindly suggest reaching out to Visual Studio Support for more specialized assistance. I totally get it can be a bit frustrating when things don't go smoothly, but as a forum moderator, I don’t have access to license activation systems or internal tools to verify license entitlements or make exceptions, so the support team will be best equipped to help you resolve this.
