Windows 10: The system does not activate even though I have the digital license

I bought a new PC. I installed Windows from USB. I tried to install win10, win11 several times, but it didn't work for any of them I logged in with my MS account, but it did not activate my system. Under My Orders in my account, there is a digital license for Windows not a product key, but my system does not recognize that I have one. I need help to make sure that the system recognizes through my MS account that I have already purchased the digital license linked to my MS account.

Digital license

Thats how licensing works with Windows 10, the digital license is attached to your Microsoft Account and makes it easy to reactivate Windows 10 in the event you reinstall it.

Where is my digital license?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

• Are you trying activate Windows on another device? If yes, do you have a product key for that operating system?
  

If you’ve the same Microsoft account signed into multiple PCs’, your settings are synced. But, the product keys or the digital licenses are hardware specific. You cannot activate multiple PCs using a single digital license.



To find out if a digital license is linked to your Microsoft account, do the following on the activated Windows operating system:

• Open Settings and click on Update & Security.
  
• Click on Activation, and on the right pane locate
  Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account.
  

For more information on Activation, please refer:
Activation in Windows 10.

Windows 10 Digital License

When you upgraded from a previous version of Windows or receive a new computer preinstalled with Windows 10, what happened is the hardware (your PC) will get a digital entitlement, where a unique signature of the computer will be stored on Microsoft
Activation Servers. The Windows 7 or Windows 8 genuine license you were previously running will be exchanged for a diagnostics key.

Anytime you need to reinstall Windows 10 on that machine, just proceed to reinstall Windows 10. It will automatically reactivate. You will prompted to enter a product key a couple times through the installation, click I don't have
a key and Do this later.

There is no need to know or get a new key, but if you have issues with Digital Licensing or the Activation Troubleshooter, you can utilize an existing Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key you already own to
reactivate if necessary. or use the reset function in Windows 10.
