    Yes.


    Yes. Signing in to Windows 10 with a Microsoft account, the password is always that of Microsoft account.


    Yes. Digital license of a Windows 10 PC can only be attached to one MS account at any given time.


    Yes.

    Please notice that license transfer and management can be confusing if you do not use descriptive computer names.

    By default Windows names a PC with DESKTOP-XXXXXXX where XXXXXXX is a random 7 character alphanumeric string. Naming your PC before assigning license to a Microsoft account helps you to identify your computers and digital licenses when transferring licenses.

    Here's how to name a PC when installing Windows 10:

    Hello MCardona81, Will I loose my Windows 10 digital Liscence Linked to microsoft account after reinstalling... :)

    The digital license will automatically be linked when you sign in to Windows 10 with your Microsoft account.

    At step 2, what does it show for you in Activation on the right side?
