Windows 10: Unlink Windows 11 Pro Digital License

Cant Reactivate Windows 11 Pro Digital License After Unlinking Device from Microsoft Account

Hello,

I currently run Windows 11 Pro on a digital license. Initially I bought an Acer PC with Windows 7 Pro (CD Key on sticker) in 2010. OS was upgraded for free to Windows 8 Pro and then Windows 10 Pro and finally to Windows 11 Pro.

Recently, my motherboard died and I replaced the mobo and CPU. When I booted Windows, it asked me if I'm using a device listed below, and the only one listed was the same computer but with a different motherboard. I clicked no and Windows could not activate. I unlinked the device in case the Windows Activation server was seeing a duplicate of the OS, still to no avail.

Now, I can't activate Windows as I don't have a CD Key and I can't find how to reinstate my digital license.

My apologies. I converted to a full retail Win 7 Pro DVD. That was updated to Win 8 Pro, then Win 10 Pro and now Win 11 Pro. MSFT Support just called me and said that despite my digital license existing on my MSFT Acct, if my device isn't listed, I'll have to do a clean install of Windows.
