This isn't really related so should be in its own new topic.

It is relatively easy so I will push on, if this is insufficient, then no problem. If you need further assistance then please do start your own new topic.

Uninstall avast on your existing system; open your my.avast.com account and delete the device (installation record).

Install avast on the new system and apply your previous license to the new installation in the same way as before.
