  1. Changing the email account that has the digital license linked to it


    Hello,


    I have a windows 10 license that is linked to an email address (yahoo) that I don't want to use anymore.


    I have created a new email address (outlook.com) but I want to move the digital license to the new email.


    How can I do this?


    I'm doing because I want to clean reinstall windows 10.


    Thanks

    Link Microsoft Account to Windows 10 Digital License


    Hey, I have a question.
    Do you think the digital license is saved on my MSA after i changed back to my local account?

    What I mean by that:
    I Added MSA to my Windows 10 and it said in Activation tab "Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account", and my PC was in device list of my MSA.
    But I don't like the fact that I have to type in password every time I boot up. It's my private PC, I don't need password, I never had. So I switched back to my Local account. But now it's back to "Windows is activated with a digital license" only, and the PC is also gone from the device list on my MSA account.
    Do you think it actually unlinked the license, or maybe because I logged in once, it saved anyway, and I will be good with activating in the future on a changed machine?

    Windows 10: Will digital license of Windows 10 linked to Microsoft account?

    Hi,



    I realize that you have queries about activating Windows 10 through Microsoft account by linking to digital license. I will certainly help you.

    When you use a Microsoft account to sign in to Windows 10, the digital license will be automatically linked to your Microsoft account.

    Also I recommend you to refer to the information provided by Andre Da Costa in the link below and check if it helps.

    How to troubleshoot Product Activation in Windows 10

    I suggest you to follow the steps for activating Windows 10 after there is any hardware changes

    How to activate Windows 10 after hardware changes:
    When you have linked your Windows 10 digital license to your Microsoft account, then you can use the following direction to activate Windows 10 after hardware changes.

    Step 1: Click on Start Menu. Then select Settings.

    Step 2: Click Update & security.

    Step 3: Then click on Activation. If your Windows 10 copy is not activated and you see a link labeled as
    Troubleshoot.

    Step 4: After that click on Troubleshoot link to open Windows 10 activation troubleshooter and get your copy of Windows 10 activated after hardware changes.

    Step 5: If the troubleshooter fails to activate Windows 10, then you will see a option as
    I changed hardware on this device recently.

    Step 6: Click on I changed hardware on this device recently link or option to see a page where you need to enter your Microsoft account email address as well as password.

    Step 7: Then try to select your Windows 10 computer from the devices list, check the box labeled as

    Activate
    button to activate your copy of Windows 10.
