Windows 10: How can I move my digital license from another computer to a new one?

Let's call my old laptop X, and my new desktop Y. When I check X's activation setting, it says that the windows is activated through a digital license linked to my microsoft account when I'm logged into this account. I searched up many guides, but I could not find one talking about a digital license. I thought that simply logging into my account on Y would do the trick but it didn't and now I have this annoying watermark and can't customize my windows. Y has windows 11 home unactivated which I got through the media creation tool for the flash drive. It says that Y isn't compatible for transfer

Transfer digital license from old PC to New one.

You would have to first ensure the Digital License is linked to your Microsoft Account. See instructions how to do that. You can then use the Troubleshooter on the new computer after installing Windows 10 to restore the license.

• Use a Digital
  License to Manage and Activate Windows 10 Anniversary Update

Please note, if your license was upgraded from a OEM preinstalled Windows 7 or Windows 7 license, it is not transferable.

Digital License after transfer license to new computer

Uninstalling a product key does not deactivate the license, there is actually no deactivation method. You would still need to contact support to actually invalidate the license on the old machine, so it can reactivate on the new machine.

Transferring the license is a step by step process.

First, you either remove the license from the machine by formatting it.

Install it on the new machine.

Contact chat support, then reactivate.

Where Digital license is handy is when you are still using the machine and reinstall Windows 10 and need to reactivate the license after a significant hardware change, such as a hard disk.
