    Because of storage purposes, I need to delete my main account to free some space, but then hesitated because of my license. If I delete my main account in which the digital license is linked to the main account, will my license be gone? Also, how can I tell if the license is also linked to my account? The picture below shows the message that it's linked to my Microsoft account also shows for the main account, but I don't really know if I should believe it since I never really purchased a license in this account. It's an OEM license, if this will gain more information.

    :)

    Link Microsoft Account to Windows 10 Digital License


    Hey, I have a question.
    Do you think the digital license is saved on my MSA after i changed back to my local account?

    What I mean by that:
    I Added MSA to my Windows 10 and it said in Activation tab "Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account", and my PC was in device list of my MSA.
    But I don't like the fact that I have to type in password every time I boot up. It's my private PC, I don't need password, I never had. So I switched back to my Local account. But now it's back to "Windows is activated with a digital license" only, and the PC is also gone from the device list on my MSA account.
    Do you think it actually unlinked the license, or maybe because I logged in once, it saved anyway, and I will be good with activating in the future on a changed machine?

    Link Microsoft Account to Windows 10 Digital License  


    Hello MCardona81, If I delete my main account in which the digital license is linked to the main account,... :)

    The digital license will automatically be linked when you sign in to Windows 10 with your Microsoft account.

    At step 2, what does it show for you in Activation on the right side?
