  1. Digital licence swap between two devices?


    Hello!


    I have two digital licences Windows 10 Home and Pro retail licence linked to my Microsoft account, both of them in use. On my desktop computer runs the Pro version and on my laptop that I mostly use in a different city, where my University is, since my desktop computer is used at home by my parents runs the Home version.


    Now, the situation is that I would need to use the remote control service during my University courses, but it's only availalble in the Pro version of the Windows. Also, my parents don't use any of the Pro version exclusive services, so I would, if I could, swap the digital license between the two of my devices. Is there a solution for my this?


    P.S.: I've seen the thread linked below about a similar case, but I would need to know a pair of product keys that can't be found anywhere, because the licences are linked to my Microsoft account. At least, that's what I think.

    I have just purchased a 2nd hand dell 9020. the copy of windows 10 is activated by a digital licence. I presume this will be linked to the previous owners Microsoft account. is there a way to swap this activation to my Microsoft account?

    Swap Licences between two Windows 10 computers

    Hi jscott21

    If either of those devices came with Windows pre-installed, then that is an OEM licence, which is locked to the original motherboard and you will be unable to swap those licences . . .

    If both devices have a retail licence (purchased separately to the device) then you can swap over those licences . . .

    Digital licence swap between two devices?

    Linking digital licences to MS Account.


    Yeah - that coiuld be the case, but when I was testing with vms, it only ever showed devices that were in your devices.


    I worked out a workaround ie. use a different MS account for each licence - maybe not needed, but I can see same device with different OS now as a result.
