  1. What happens if I give my laptop to someone else and I change the account?


    Hello!I'm going to buy a new laptop with Windows 11 already installed, and I'm going to give my old laptop, which also has pre-installed Windows 11, to my parents. Can I switch from one Microsoft account to another without losing my Windows license? My laptop's Windows is activated with a digital license linked to my Microsoft account, but it would be great if my parents could use another Microsoft account instead of mine. Also, will it affect anything if I use the same Microsoft account on my new laptop and activate another Windows license?Thank you in advance!

    :)
