    How to transfer Windows digital license to Microsoft account?


    So i bought a new laptop with Windows 10 installed in it. When i look up the activation page on settings it says "Windows is activated with a digital license".


    all i know about digital license is that it is connected to a Microsoft account. But this laptop i bought doesn't have Microsoft account in it, only local account/Administrator (i know it from Settings > account).


    So the question is if i login to my Microsoft account (from the Activation > Add Microsoft account), will the digital license 'transfered' to my Microsoft account??? Or is it gonna be stuck forever on the local account???


    Sorry for this silly question, im totally new with this digital license scheme.

    :)

    How to transfer Windows digital license to Microsoft account?

    Linking Windows 10 digital license to Microsoft account: Is the link permanent?

    Linking to your Microsoft Account is more of a convenience when reactivating Windows 10 after a reinstallation or hardware change such as a hard disk.

    It doesn't necessarily mean, you can easily transfer Windows 10 to another computer. Here is an explanation of how it works:
