Uninstall (delete, remove) the Windows 10 digital license from old hardware, after reactivating it on new (similar) hardware, after hardware change

Hi,

I recently was able to reactivate my Windows 10 digital license on new (only on similar, same type laptop to laptop) hardware, by linking my Microsoft account. I followed the steps mentoned in

Reactivating Windows 10 after a hardware change .

I find that the old hardware, still has an activated digital license of Windows.

I need to uninstall the digital license from the old hardware, in such a way that it will not activate, on its own, and will not invalidate the digital license on my new hardware, at all.

Please advice me, as I would like to transfer my digital license to my new hardware, completely, and permanently. I require my old hardware to not be having the digital license, at all, and the digital license to be completely deleted from it.

 

How to reactivate with digital license after hardware change

I built my computer back in 2013 and bought a windows 7 professional license for it.

At some point I used the free update to windows 10.

Recently I decided to upgrade to a Ryzen 7 from my old Intel cpu.

I followed the walkthrough here
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/20530/windows-10-reactivating-after-hardware-change to convert my license to a digital license linked to my Microsoft account since I don't have the physical license key anymore.

I then switched out the intel cpu and associated motherboard with the new AMD chip and motherboard.

I started up my computer and continued following the above walkthrough except when I selected "I changed hardware on this device recently" it paused for a bit and then gave the following error "We can't reactivate
Windows as our servers aren't available right now. Wait for a few minutes or try adding your Microsoft account again. "

I restarted my computer and got the same result, I updated from version 1903 to 1909 and restarted my computer and got the same result.

If I look on my Microsoft account in manage devices I can see the computer with the same name but the old hardware with
Edition: Windows 10 Professional

So in conclusion, how am I actually supposed to use my digital license to reactivate windows after I change my hardware.
