Windows 10: Digital License no activation possible after restore old PC

After switching to a new PC with Digital License, i did a system image restore from my old Windows 10 Pro Machine.

Now the new PC can't be activated. The new machine has a digital license from Lenovo.

I tried to install the MS provided upgrade licensekey "VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T" with no luck.

The troubleshooter brings error 0x800700005


Any tips on this theme?

Transfer digital license from old PC to New one.

You would have to first ensure the Digital License is linked to your Microsoft Account. See instructions how to do that. You can then use the Troubleshooter on the new computer after installing Windows 10 to restore the license.

• Use a Digital
  License to Manage and Activate Windows 10 Anniversary Update

Please note, if your license was upgraded from a OEM preinstalled Windows 7 or Windows 7 license, it is not transferable.

Digital license and activation | Old lap to PC

Hello all,

I have a laptop (L1) and a desktop (PC1) setup. The problem is that my laptop was wrecked two years back and no more in use. I took out the harddisk and is in use via an external cable. Now, I want to use the digital license from my old laptop to desktop
by reinstalling the windows and activating it.

Is there a way to do it?

L1 - win8 to win10 free upgrade (digital license, if i understand correctly from the forums)

PC1 - ubuntu setup, want to change to new windows setup by adding the L1 laptop HDD and reactivate digital license.

Note : I didn't add a microsoft account to L1. =(

Please suggest and help.

Thanks in advance..!! =)

 

Windows 10 License question - New PC and old computer still exists.

Hi Microsoft Community!

I'm in the process of assembling a new PC and am going to give the old PC to my younger brother. I want to transfer my existing license to the new computer and if possible "de-license" the old one. These are the particulars:

• My Windows 10 license was purchased on the Microsoft website and originally activated with a product key.
• I still have this product key.
• I have since formatted the PC and after re-installing Windows 10 the activation is now with a digital license.
• I prefer using local accounts on my PC and thus haven't created a Microsoft account enabled user.

My question is how to best go about transferring the license? Can I just format the old PC and activate my license on the new PC with the product key? If I do that will I get a problem when my brother installs Windows on the old computer again, since it
now has a digital license?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
