    Laptop Stolen - how can I deactivate the Windows 10 License


    I was in the process of selling a laptop that I purchased a new Windows 10 license for. The person ended up stealing it and has changed the password on the MS account registered not as dumb as I thought. Is there a way to have Windows deactivate the license - I have my proof of purchase and that I am the owner of the license.....Any help is appreciated - hate holiday ****es that ruin it for others.

    :)

    Deregister Windows 10 on stolen PC?

    Thanks for the additional suggestions. I did chat with a Microsoft rep today, and they advised me to activate the product key on my new PC which will deactivate the license on the stolen one. I asked if they could deactivate the stolen key right now, but they said they cannot.

    Laptop Stolen - how can I deactivate the Windows 10 License

    Deregister Windows 10 on stolen PC?

    Another MS Rep that has no idea what they are talking about.... I have a couple of computers that were originally activated with the same product key - activating the second computer has no affect on the previously activated computer.
