  1. Accidently removed my device with digital license of windows 10 pro after motherboard...


    my windows 10 pro is upgraded from windows 7 which I have purchased a long time ago ,my windows was linked to my Microsoft account *** Email address is removed for privacy *** through digital license .
    Yesterday I changed my motherboard and processor due to which fresh windows installation was required,
    after installation i ran troubleshoot for windows activation but it wasn't working , When i opened my Microsoft account i saw my computer with old configuration as a device there, so I thought that current system will be activated only after i remove the old one.
    I removed my activated device from my Microsoft account due to which i am unable to activate windows now. please help!!

    :)

  2. Removing devices from Microsoft Account and Digital Licensing

    I have several Virtual Windows 10 devices associated with my account that I'm no longer using. What will happen to the digital licenses for these devices if I remove them? Will I still have the Digital Windows 10 Pro licenses associated with my account,
    or will I lose those licenses? Or should I just leave them until I build a new Windows 10 Pro device and run the activation troubleshooter to get one of those licenses applied to the new device? Below are the devices I'm referring to. There is an option
    to "Remove PC" for each, but there is no information that I can find that tells what will happen to those Digital Licenses if I do that.

  3. Circumvent a digital license?


    We bought a Dell Inspiron that shipped with Windows 10 Home installed and a digital license. I am trying to get Windows 10 Pro on it so I can join our domain. I've tried entering our legitimate Pro key, and I'm told it isn't valid. Anytime I try a clean install, it, as expected, skips the OS choice and goes right to Home. I have no option to pick.

    I'm also struggling to find a Windows 10 Pro (only Pro) .iso.

    So, any suggestions on how to get around this? I'd love to wipe the digital license clean, but I believe that's stored on the motherboard.

    Windows 10 Pro's license completely glitched out after changing motherboard and CPU

    We appreciate your reply. For us to know more about the issue, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Did you manage to deactivate Windows 10 Pro first before replacing your motherboard?
    • Do you still have the written copy of your product key?
    • Are you using the same hard disk where your Windows 10 Pro product key has been activated? If not, where is this hard disk?
    • Did you replace your hard disk along with your motherboard and CPU?
    • What is the edition of Windows activated on your computer? To know, press Windows + S. Type About, and click it.

    Meanwhile, we recommend that you deactivate and uninstall your Windows 10 Pro license from your old motherboard and reinstall it back on your machine using the steps below:

    Step 1: Check your your Windows 10 Pro product key using Windows Powershell or Command prompt. Follow the steps below and note down your product key:

    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Click Command Prompt (admin).
    • Enter the following command: wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey
      and press Enter:
    • The product key will be revealed, copy the product key.

    Step 2: Deactivate and uninstall the Windows 10 Pro Product Key from the old motherboard since it has your license. Follow the steps below:

    • To know the Activation ID of your Windows installation. Open a command prompt using the Windows search box and type in
      slmgr.vbs /dlv and press Enter. This will display the detailed license information for the installed operating system.
    • A window will open up and will give you details about your Windows licensing and activation status. Look for
      Activation ID and note it down.
    • On the same command prompt window, type in slmgr /upk <your Activation ID> and press
      Enter. This uninstalls the product key of the current Windows edition. After a restart, the system will be in an Unlicensed state unless a new product key is installed.

    Step 3: Activate your Windows 10 Pro to your machine after uninstalling it due to a hardware change, follow the steps below:

    • Open a command prompt using the Windows search box and type in
      slmgr /ipk <Windows Product Key> and press Enter.
    • If the key is valid and applicable, the key is installed. If a key is already installed, it is silently replaced. If the key is invalid, an error is returned.
    • Open your Control Panel you will see Windows is activated message.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
