    I have my windows 11 home activated with digital license linked to my Microsoft account....


    the type of license is Retail.I have laptops with pre installed win 10 before. and upgraded it to win 11 home. and my same account connected to the laptop. but the type of license is OEM not Retail.And I have digital license for win 11 pro NOT home retail type for work. not using it the key anymore. and the digital license is also connected to my microsoft account. but I think it's illegal because i bought it just for about 1$. So I don't use it anymore.So where is my digital license for windows 11 home come from?I hope it came from free upgrading my OEM Windows 10 to 10 home in my pre ins

    Link Microsoft Account to Windows 10 Digital License


    Hey, I have a question.
    Do you think the digital license is saved on my MSA after i changed back to my local account?

    What I mean by that:
    I Added MSA to my Windows 10 and it said in Activation tab "Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account", and my PC was in device list of my MSA.
    But I don't like the fact that I have to type in password every time I boot up. It's my private PC, I don't need password, I never had. So I switched back to my Local account. But now it's back to "Windows is activated with a digital license" only, and the PC is also gone from the device list on my MSA account.
    Do you think it actually unlinked the license, or maybe because I logged in once, it saved anyway, and I will be good with activating in the future on a changed machine?

    How To Activate Windows 11 Signed-into Account (B) Using A Windows 10 Digital License Linked to Account (A) On A Different PC?

    I have:

    • An old PC that:
      • Is running Windows 10 Home.
      • Activated using a digital license that is eligible for Windows 11 update.
        • Digital license is linked to an old Microsoft account (e-mail #1).
      • Does not meet the minimum system requirements to run Windows 11.
    • A new PC that:
      • Is running Windows 11 Home.
      • Is not yet activated.
      • Is signed-in using a new Microsoft account (e-mail #2).

    My main goal is to activate Windows 11 Home on my new PC using my existing digital license while keeping:

    1. The new PC signed-in to the new Microsoft account (e-mail #2).
    2. The old PC signed-in to the old Microsoft account (e-mail #1).

    Side note: Though I would love to keep the old PC working and still licensed, it is OK if that is not possible.

    Initial idea:

    1. Unlink digital license on old PC from e-mail #1.
    2. Link digital license on old PC to e-mail #2.
    3. Check that the new PC is activated.
    4. Switch back to e-mail #1 on old PC.

    Yet, I am unsure about the proper way of handling this process while avoiding any hiccups.

    Actual questions:

    1. Would my initial idea work?
      1. Could you please point me to how to unlink an account from a digital license?
      2. Could you please point me to how to link a new account to a digital license?
      3. Would the Windows 11 Home activation be automatic and immediate or is there anything I need to do before?
    2. If not, what are my other options?

    Thank you in advance!
