    Microsoft Store showing old product license


    I had Windows 10 Pro volume license. After the first Windows setup, that license associated the motherboard. When I setup Windows again it is activating automatic. I do not want it. Recently, I found Windows 10 Home Retail product license, that is never used. It is working but Microsoft Store doesn't show, only showing past usage. Any product license never linked to any Microsoft account. I mean I want fresh start, I do not want to see past usage without Microsoft Store's Hide option.

    delete license

    Maybe you could tell us what you are trying to accomplish?

    1. The use of a product key for Windows 10 is to establish the license for Windows 10. Once the license is established with a product key, it is stored on Microsoft Activation servers for that edition of Windows and that specific computer. You can't do anything to delete the digital license for a computer because it is stored on Microsoft Activation servers that you do not have access to.

    2. You can check for a Windows product key stored in UEFI or BIOS by using Showkey Plus:
    ShowKeyPlus

    3. I don't think you can open a Command Prompt (Admin) from powershell, but I might be wrong. Just click the start icon and start typing command. Command Prompt will appear at the top of the list, and in the options to the right of the list will be Run As Administrator. Click on Run as Administrator.

    Remove Key License from old Motherboard

    • If your copy of Windows 10 is OEM( came preinstalled on the computer it can not be transferred. The License died with the old motherboard. If it is retail (bought from Microsoft store or another Retailer ) it can be transferred. If you still have issues
      I would contact Microsoft support and they will help activate.
