Windows 10: Windows Digital license - Email change

Many years ago, I made an email which got linked to a digital windows 10 home license. Recently I made a new alias for it and deleted the original because I wanted to change it. I changed the email for accounts and such, but the windows license I have is still under the original now deleted alias.

I understand that the license is still attached to my motherboard so I'm not concerned about my computer's license not working.

In setting it still states "Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account".


when i do win+r and type "winver" it clearly states its under the original alias


Is there a way of transferring it/ changing the email attached?
Or is it technically attached to both?


Thanks in advance!

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.

Digital License by email

It means you have the wrong edition installed. You need to reinstall Windows 10 Home, since that is what you are licensed for.

The copy of Windows 10 you download and upgrade from will correspond with the edition of Windows you have installed, if it does not, this is why you might be experiencing problems activating:

• Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Windows 8.0 Core, Windows 8.1 Core will install Windows 10 Home
  

• Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8.0 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro will installWindows 10 Pro

Step 2:

• How to: Perform a clean install of Windows 10

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 ownto reactivate if necessary. or use the reset function in Windows 10.
