    Link Microsoft Account to Windows 10 Digital License


    Hey, I have a question.
    Do you think the digital license is saved on my MSA after i changed back to my local account?

    What I mean by that:
    I Added MSA to my Windows 10 and it said in Activation tab "Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account", and my PC was in device list of my MSA.
    But I don't like the fact that I have to type in password every time I boot up. It's my private PC, I don't need password, I never had. So I switched back to my Local account. But now it's back to "Windows is activated with a digital license" only, and the PC is also gone from the device list on my MSA account.
    Do you think it actually unlinked the license, or maybe because I logged in once, it saved anyway, and I will be good with activating in the future on a changed machine?

    How To Activate Windows 11 Signed-into Account (B) Using A Windows 10 Digital License Linked to Account (A) On A Different PC?

    I have:

    • An old PC that:
      • Is running Windows 10 Home.
      • Activated using a digital license that is eligible for Windows 11 update.
        • Digital license is linked to an old Microsoft account (e-mail #1).
      • Does not meet the minimum system requirements to run Windows 11.
    • A new PC that:
      • Is running Windows 11 Home.
      • Is not yet activated.
      • Is signed-in using a new Microsoft account (e-mail #2).

    My main goal is to activate Windows 11 Home on my new PC using my existing digital license while keeping:

    1. The new PC signed-in to the new Microsoft account (e-mail #2).
    2. The old PC signed-in to the old Microsoft account (e-mail #1).

    Side note: Though I would love to keep the old PC working and still licensed, it is OK if that is not possible.

    Initial idea:

    1. Unlink digital license on old PC from e-mail #1.
    2. Link digital license on old PC to e-mail #2.
    3. Check that the new PC is activated.
    4. Switch back to e-mail #1 on old PC.

    Yet, I am unsure about the proper way of handling this process while avoiding any hiccups.

    Actual questions:

    1. Would my initial idea work?
      1. Could you please point me to how to unlink an account from a digital license?
      2. Could you please point me to how to link a new account to a digital license?
      3. Would the Windows 11 Home activation be automatic and immediate or is there anything I need to do before?
    2. If not, what are my other options?

    Thank you in advance!
