Windows 10: I would like to buy & install a new copy of Windows 10 Home on a laptop I am giving to my...

I removed the laptop from Devices in my Microsoft account. I then installed Windows 10 Home from a USB key.


When I look at activation on the laptop it says "Windows is activated with a digital license" & then it's suggesting that I link it to my account. I've read lots of articles & I realize that this is what is supposed to happen but it's not what I really wanted.


What I wanted & I thought I could do was:

1. Unlink the laptop from my account

2, Install Windows 10 Home from a USB key

3. Buy a license online & activate it - but not to my account. I'd have my son create an account (or I would create it for him) & link it to his account.


Or do I have to leave it linked to my account?


I'm open to suggestions for the best way to do this.


I also have another laptop (OEM) that my son just bought for my granddaughter so I assume I will have the same sort of issue as above.


Thanks in advance

Regards...Steve

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
