  1. Windows Digital License Activation


    Morning | Afternoon | Evening, whereever you may be and thanks for taking the time to read about my happenings.


    I Begin with stating that I've recently built a new PC and I've not had a Windows 10 Boot Drive on hand. So I've had to install windows 7 Home, and upgrade to windows 10 Home. [I Guess because there's some form of Digital DRM That we're not being told about]


    A Few months ago, I purchased a Windows 10 "Digital Upgrade License" from the windows store on the (OLD PC). Seeing that I'm still on Windows 10 Home, I should be able to activate Windows 10 Pro Right?


    Well, no because the Windows 10 Pro License is stuck on the old Computer. [Which by the way, doesn't exist anymore]


    I've tried looking in "My Devices" To see if there's a way to remove the Pro License from the old system and whack it in the new PC.


    As stated above, there is NO WAY To get back into the old Computer.


    At this stage, it feels like that money is wasted.


    I look forward to hearing from some of your suggestions as I'm out of ideas at this point.

    Thanks for reading

    Mike

  2. Digital license

    Thats how licensing works with Windows 10, the digital license is attached to your Microsoft Account and makes it easy to reactivate Windows 10 in the event you reinstall it.

    Windows 10 Digital License

    When you upgraded from a previous version of Windows or receive a new computer preinstalled with Windows 10, what happened is the hardware (your PC) will get a digital entitlement, where a unique signature of the computer will be stored on Microsoft
    Activation Servers. The Windows 7 or Windows 8 genuine license you were previously running will be exchanged for a diagnostics key.

    Anytime you need to reinstall Windows 10 on that machine, just proceed to reinstall Windows 10. It will automatically reactivate. You will prompted to enter a product key a couple times through the installation, click I don't have
    a key and Do this later.

    There is no need to know or get a new key, but if you have issues with Digital Licensing or the Activation Troubleshooter, you can utilize an existing Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key you already own to
    reactivate if necessary. or use the reset function in Windows 10.
