    Digital license activation problems


    I recently built a new PC and so paid up for Windows 10 Home, then noticed the Activate windows watermark and had no luck getting rid of it and I think it has transferred to my work laptop on which I'm logged into with my personal Microsoft account.If so, how can i get that digital license back to my personal computer the computer I bought it from as well? And will the license/key for my work laptop remain on there?Thanks

    :)

  2. Digital license

    Thats how licensing works with Windows 10, the digital license is attached to your Microsoft Account and makes it easy to reactivate Windows 10 in the event you reinstall it.

    Digital license activation problems

    Where is my digital license?

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    • Are you trying activate Windows on another device? If yes, do you have a product key for that operating system?


    If you’ve the same Microsoft account signed into multiple PCs’, your settings are synced. But, the product keys or the digital licenses are hardware specific. You cannot activate multiple PCs using a single digital license.



    To find out if a digital license is linked to your Microsoft account, do the following on the activated Windows operating system:

    • Open Settings and click on Update & Security.
    • Click on Activation, and on the right pane locate
      Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account.


    For more information on Activation, please refer:
    Activation in Windows 10.



    Regards,
