Windows 10: Win 10 license

Hi,


I have recently updated my motherboard and after that I am asked to activate my windows license because Microsoft doesnt recognise my hardware anymore.

Trying to give it my microsoft account didnt help.


Therefore, I built in my old motherboard again and wanted to link the license to my microsoft account. However, it tells me that it is linked to a microsoft account.

Which obviously isnt my normal account. Seems I have created a special account at that time...


So now my questions are:

Where can I see to which microsoft account my license is linked to?

Can I change that to another microsoft account in case I dont have access to that email anymore?


Cheers and thank you,

Lukas

SCCM: In Place upgrade Win 7to win 10 1903 License issue

I was working on one task sequence for In Place Upgrade. Win 10 1709 to Win 10 1903 is working fine.

But Win 7 to Win 10 1903 is getting failed during Upgrade Operating System step.

I checked some of the links and added the KMS Client Keys (NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43) in upgrade operating system step.

Also added one step to run vbs script.

But Task Sequence is getting failed at this step.

Command line Cscript.exe c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43 returned 3221549136

In my environment, we are using KMS and we don't have a Volume license.

Any advise how to resolve this issue.

 

Windows 10 upgrade license

The interesting question is that: the upgrade takes place before 29 of July. If I upgrade the PC (change the MB), and I transfer the Win 8.1 license to this new PC (cause 8.1 is retail FPP), will I be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free? Or a upgrade license must be bought?

 

How to move Win 7 license over to a new rig?

AFAIK, OEM licenses will have a Product ID that usually contain "OEM" within it - it can be found under Control Panel > System > Windows Activation (usually).
