    Accidentally remove the old activated PC device, and I cannot reactivate Windows anymore??!!


    Today, I've changed my PC and try to activate Windows 10 Pro. But then I accidentally remove the old activated PC from my Microsoft account. And when I try to reactivate my new PC, it keep show the message "We can’t find any devices linked to your Microsoft account that can be used for reactivating the device you’re using right now." but hey!!! I used Windows 10 Pro for years and I thought my account contains the activation key not the unique device. Please help..


    My Windows licence is Digital licence

    :)

    By the way, I decided to buy the new licence because I have deleted whole system of the old one and I don't have the keycode.

    Hi, ChanaT,

    See if this works for you.

    Click on Settings > Accounts > Email Accounts > Add an Account

    Click Outlook.com

    Enter Email Address of your Microsoft Account > Click Next

    Enter Password > Click Sign-in

    If using two-step verification > Select how to receive the code for verification

    Enter the Code > Click Next

    Click Next again

    You should see All done = Your account was setup successfully

    Click Done

    You'll be linked to the Digital License once you activate the account.
