Windows 10: Question about digital licences

I was wondering how digital licences work in this scenario:

PC1 has W10 activated with microsoft account (digital licence tied to account) with harware info from PC1 on the server.

First question: Can I remove the microsoft account used to activate Windows?

If so, what happens if I install W10 on PC2 and activate it with my microsoft account? Does it update the hardware info online? How PC1 know the licence is not valid anymore now the microsoft account is gone?

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

digital licence for windows

ok here goes :

reactivation of windows 10 after hardware changes doesnt work.





to add I had nothing but problems since upgrading for free my wifi adaptor failed so I had to purchase another. then my ethernet port failed. so was forced into probably purchasing a new mb next step up from the failed one ( possibly because of poxy windows
10 upgrade)

Also I thought when I upgraded so called "digital licence" to win 10 I no longer needed my windows 7 disc and key so binned it.

next step was to put old motherboard which is linked to digital licence. back in and reinstall correct version of windows to match my digital licence worked windows activated! ffixxed

now to change my motherboard back to the non faulty one..... and try to reactivate...…………..!!!

windows no longer activated.... and that the message in the window when trying to
