  1. Windows 10 digital license transfer from my one microsoft account to my other microsoft account


    Hello,


    I had windows 7 pre-installed on my laptop and then had free upgrade to windows 10.

    I had used my old Microsoft account for activation and my windows 10 license is linked to that account.

    Is it possible to transfer my digital license to my new Microsoft account? My laptop will remain the same.

    Thank you.

    :)

  3. How to transfer Windows digital license to Microsoft account?

    So i bought a new laptop with Windows 10 installed in it. When i look up the activation page on settings it says "Windows is activated with a digital license".

    all i know about digital license is that it is connected to a Microsoft account. But this laptop i bought doesn't have Microsoft account in it, only local account/Administrator (i know it from Settings > account).

    So the question is if i login to my Microsoft account (from the Activation > Add Microsoft account), will the digital license 'transfered' to my Microsoft account??? Or is it gonna be stuck forever on the local account???

    Sorry for this silly question, im totally new with this digital license scheme.

    key points of Tutorial "Link Microsoft Account to Windows 10 Digital "


    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:
