Windows 10 Pro Full Retail Version Product Key Issue

Hello,

I purchased the full retail version of Windows 10 Pro and performed a clean install using

the product key contained in the retail package. After the clean install using the full retail version the "Activation" in "Update and Security" showed that it was a Product Key.

After the Windows 10 Anniversary Edition was installed, it shows as being activated with a digital license. I used 'showkeyplus' as recommended by a MVP and it shows the original OEM key and then the full retail key. It is treating my retail install as
an upgrade and assigning it a digital license.

How do I get it back to the Product Key entitlement? Quite frankly, this is upsetting after spending the money on the full version. Does this mean if I purchase a new laptop and want to perform a clean install of the full retail version of Windows 10 Pro
on it that license is tied to the old laptop?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

Win 10 Pro retail license transfer product key

I had a retail license of Windows 10 Pro (upgraded from a retail license of Windows 7 Professional years ago) on an HP PC that recently died. When the replacement (an LG PC) arrived, I transferred the Win 10 Pro image from the HP to the LG, using Macrium Reflect. However, the product key reported by the HP system before the transfer doesn't match the product key reported by the LG system after the transfer. Which product key is correct, and do I need to do something with Microsoft to ensure that its record of the license info is correct?
