Windows 10: Digital License Activation

I purchased a Digital License of Windows 11 Pro and recently reset my PC while keeping the files but now that I’ve finish setting up my computer, it says I need to activate Windows. Someone help please.

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.

transfer digital license

a windows site suggests de-activating a device to transfer the -license' / key - to a new device. Is this true and possible in the case of --transfer digital license-- ???

 

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:
