Windows 10: Transferring Digital License

I installed Windows 10 on my computer when the free upgrade was available. I believe that makes mine a digital license?My computer is now unusable and I want to transfer my license to someone else's computer who missed the free upgrade period. I don't want to add my account to their computer, I just want them to have the license. Is that possible? Also, according to internet sources a digital license is sent by email. I've checked my emails and I can't find any that have the activation code. Is there someone I can contact at MS that would have the record? My old computer doesn't even turn on.

a windows site suggests de-activating a device to transfer the -license' / key - to a new device. Is this true and possible in the case of --transfer digital license-- ???

 

Transfer digital license from old PC to New one.

You would have to first ensure the Digital License is linked to your Microsoft Account. See instructions how to do that. You can then use the Troubleshooter on the new computer after installing Windows 10 to restore the license.

  License to Manage and Activate Windows 10 Anniversary Update

Please note, if your license was upgraded from a OEM preinstalled Windows 7 or Windows 7 license, it is not transferable.
