Windows 10: Is windows 10 license key linked to my account?

I'm planning on building a new PC because the current laptop I'm using is on it's last legs. For some context, I purchased my current daily drive laptop for cheap on ebay a couple years ago but it came with a retail windows 10 pro key. I've confirmed this by entering through the command prompt and also gone into settings to check its activation status which said, "Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account".However, I'm confused if this means it's linked to MY current microsoft account that I daily drive on or the previous owner's account who factory reset it

If you upgrade your 7 install to 10, which is worth it IMHO, make sure you link to a Microsoft Account. Otherwise you might not be able to easily regain the key if they block using 7 keys in the future.

You don't need to use the Microsoft account as your profile on so you can still bypass logging in at setup and creating a local account. All you gotta do to link your 10 account to your MS install (if you choose not to use your MS account as your profile), is to simply do the following:

• Click Start
• Click Settings
• Click Update and Security
• Click Activation
• As or with Admin permissions, click Add Account
• Login with MS Account credentials.

Then you should see a message that reads:

Link a Microsoft Account to a Windows 10 license

Hello Steve, and welcome to Ten Forums.

What build of Windows 10 do you currently have installed?

Starting in build 14371, if you see this part highlighted in yellow below in Settings -> Update & security -> Activation from step 7 in the tutorial posted above, then the PC's digital license is linked to your MSA.
