Windows 10: Having trouble activating Windows license

I am using Parallels virtual desktop to access Windows on my Mac for work purposes. I have a company domain Microsoft account and my employer purchased a Windows license for me. I can see the Microsoft license when I log into Microsoft in Mac/Chrome. However when I try to log into my Microsoft account through the Windows settings to link the license, it says I do not have a Microsoft account. These are the steps I am doing: Open Parallels virtual desktop and launch Windows Open Settings. Activation state reads: "Windows reported that no product key was found on your device". Click Troubleshoot

I have a concern about windows 10 license and activation.

Maybe the first question to ask would be why does it require Windows 10 Pro? Why is Windows 10 Home not sufficient? If the goal is only to get an SSD into the refurbished laptop, then why not just move the SSD over and, as you suggest, do a clean install of Windows 10 Home?

1. Create a USB flash drive of Windows 10 using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, I recommend a 16 GB or 32 GB flash drive:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10

2. Create a folder on the flash drive created in step 1 above and export the existing refurbished laptop drivers to that folder:
Backup and Restore Device Drivers in Windows 10

3. Replace the hard drive in the refurbished laptop with the SSD.

4. Boot the refurbished laptop from the USB flash drive created in step 1 and perform a clean install of Windows 10 Home.

5. After Windows 10 Home is installed, re-install drivers from the USB flash drive for any hardware in device manager that is missing drivers.

If you re-install Windows 10 Home, there will be no activation issues - it will activate using the already existing digital license for Windows 10 Home for the refurbished laptop. If you put Windows 10 Pro onto the refurbished laptop - either with a clean install or by moving from another computer, you will have to manually activate it to establish the digital license for Windows 10 Pro for the refurbished laptop.

Can you remember whether the Windows version with the old hardware was Home or Pro?

More suggestions:

Activate Your Windows 10 by Phone

To activate your Win 10 by phone, follow these steps:

Windows logo key + R -> Type ‘Slui 4’ into the Run box -> Enter

Select your Country/Region from the list -> Next

You will be given a toll-free phone number -> Use this number to get your confirmation ID -> Activate

Note: Regrettably, this fix will not work if Windows 10 comes pre-installed on your PC.
