  1. Windows 10 licence in Microsoft Account


    I used to use a laptop which I bought with Windows built-in. After I bought it, I matched Windows licence built-in the laptop with my Microsoft account. The windows licence sticker under the laptop is not in its place anymore. Today, I have changed my laptop with newer and freedos one. I want to use my old laptop licence with my new laptop. However, I don't know which Windows 10 licence I have in my account and cannot see anywhere on my account details. How can I learn which version of Windows 10 I have in my Microsoft account?

    :)

  2. How to verify that my Windows 10 licence is associated with my Hotmail/Microsoft account

    Do those steps:

    • Use the keyboard shortcut Windows-I to open the Settings application.
    • Select Update & Security.
    • Select Activation

    Here you see the current status. If the account has no licence you can click on Add an account, enter your account data and the account gets the license added.

    You can see this in the next step in the same dialog:

    As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Launch the Store from your Start menu.
    • Click the user icon next to the search box.
    • Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
    • Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
    • When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

    Windows 10 licence in Microsoft Account

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown Windows 10 licence in Microsoft Account :(
