Windows 10: reactivating Windows 10 Pro digital license

Hi ,



I upgraded my windows 10 version from Home Basic to Pro in September last year.


My laptop had to be reformatted and I had to install windows 10 again. Since original digital license was for 10 Home Basic - that is what I had to install and activate. All that was done.


Now I want to reactivate Windows 10 Pro. I have associated the account from which this was purchased to local account so that I login into Windows 10 using that Microsoft account. I can see the purchase details when I look at Windows Store purchase history.


However, I did not find any option / link / hint where I can do the upgrade. Since it was purchased ffrom the Store, the license was digital.


How do I now reactivate this ?


Thanks in advance.

Reactivating Windows - Digital license not working??

I recently made a significant hardware change and wished to bring my Windows 10 Pro license across to my new hardware. I installed Windows 10 Pro but could not get it to activate immediately. I rather naively deleted my previous PC from the list of devices
registered to my Microsoft account, thinking this would free up the digital license to be used again on my new PC. This had no effect.

I then found the following article about reactivating after a hardware change:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/20530

After seeing this, I knew that I had messed up badly - I was in a rush to get my PC sorted prior to the start of a new week.

I do not have the original key for my Windows version as I upgraded from Windows 8.1 Pro a few years ago and I am unsure what to do now. I have logged into my Microsoft account in Windows on my new PC and it is the same account that was used previously on
my old machine.

Looking for suggestions.

Thanks
