# Hello!

I have a very simple question: I am planning on getting a Windows Desktop PC, and I am currently on a Mac. I was wondering how I would transfer aseprite to it, as it’s a paid.

I didn’t use the steam installation method unfortunately and went for the straight download method. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi @acuaro, generally you can re-download Aseprite installer/zip from the link given via email after your purchase. Anyway you can use the [order resender](https://www.aseprite.org/support/) of the website we use to sell Aseprite or you can contact us at [support@aseprite.org](mailto:support@aseprite.org) and we can help you to find your personal download link.

Just in case the trial doesn’t work in that way, the trail doesn’t have a place to put the key. The full version is a completely different installer. [There are plans to improve the purchase flow in a future](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/issues/2664).
