Windows 10: Move Windows Digital licence from a destroyed device

Howdy, I purchased a Windows 10 Pro digital licence to run in Boot Camp on a MacBook Pro. The MacBook has been damaged and written off but I wish to re-use the licence. How do I do this?

Windows Digital licence transfer

Hi,

hoping someone can help me. I have significantly upgraded my PC (almost everything apart from BD and case!) and have had to re-install Windows. The digital licence I had associated with the original PC will not install on my new PC and tells me it is
invalid. From memory the old licence was associated to an old Windows 8.1 licence I bought many years ago.

Is there anyway to utilise the digital licence. The only licence on my account I can use is a licence associated to a laptop that I actively use. Although the old PC is listed as have a digital licence.

Any thoughts or help much appreciated

Thanks

 

Linking digital licences to MS Account.

Yeah - that coiuld be the case, but when I was testing with vms, it only ever showed devices that were in your devices.


I worked out a workaround ie. use a different MS account for each licence - maybe not needed, but I can see same device with different OS now as a result.
