    Activating Windows on a new computer build


    I am currently about to build a new computer using the gpu and psu of my old one and replacing all of the parts. My current computer has windows activated through a digital license which was received through the free update to windows 10 after using a windows 7 product key. I no longer have the product key but do have the digital license tied to my account. If I were to use a usb to install windows on my new computer how could I activate it using this digital license?

    :)
