    Microsoft Account not showing Windows 10 Licence


    I had a notebook with local users and a copy of Windows 10 Pro activated. So I decided change the local user into a Microsoft Account to link my license with my MSA.
    On the device it's allright, now teh activitaion tab shows "Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account". But my MSA doesn't list this device in devices list. I have other devices activated that are listed, but not this one.
    Anyone know what's happening? Why my device is not listed in MSA?

    Cannot sign in microsoft account.

    My device: Lumia 520. GDR2.
    I cannot sign in my Microsoft account on my device. It didnt say any error but Microsoft account is not listed in Email and account list. When I click add button, it will show microsoft account option but after press sign in, it is still not shown in email
    and account. Another problem is i cannot delete facebook account. Error code: 0x83cf1202. I have tried as suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475837/en-us#step0x83cf1202 but as my Microsoft account is not shown, I cannot do step 6. Why is my microsoft account showing need activation? :(

    Any suggestion?

    Microsoft Account Activation Not working

    My new computer just arrived and I have installed windows on the new computer and logged in with my Microsoft account. If I go to the Microsoft profile website it shows that my computer is linked to my Hotmail account.

    When i troubleshoot my windows activation and select changed hardware it only shows my old computer.

    if i click see other devices it only shows the VMware Compuiter not the new one. In the settings page on my old PC it says that my windows activation is linked to my microsoft account.

    This is for Windows 10 Pro edition which is installed on my old and new computer. They "key" was given to me when i upgraded from windows 7 back in 2014-15.
