Windows 10: 2 license keys for 1 account?

Hello all,


I recently built a new PC and was going to move my windows 10 key to it from my current one.

Instead I was thinking I would just buy a new key since i'm not selling this one but giving it to my brother.

Would it be possible to have 2 license keys linked to my account and log in on the other one and it use the second key or do I need an entirely separate account for the other key.


Thanks,

Jude

Remove account


I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
   
   Code:

   net user test /del

 

Link Microsoft Account to Windows 10 Digital License  

This is what i get on step 2

 

Local vs Network user accounts


I just did a VM install, just to verify that I don't speak total crap.

Steps I took:

1. Installed Windows 10 Pro x64 Build 15063.0
2. Entered the License Key
3. Created a local account
4. Went to accounts and added my Microsoft account
5. Let Windows use this account for all apps
6. Checked status on Microsoft account web page.
7. Verified that the VM shows up there
8. deleted my VM locally
9. created a new VM installation without entering the License Key (on same VM but totally new Virtual disk)
10. re-did steps 3-7
11. verified that my VM is activated.

And indeed it is activated and I login to my VM using local account which is linked to my MS account.

Should I create a Video of this or do you trust my word on it? Or better yet test it yourself if you have a valid license key you can waste on a VM.
