Transferring digital licence onto new system

Question

Hey all,&nbsp;I've just built a new system for myself, but I am unable to activate my copy of Windows 10 Home. I have a digital licence through&nbsp; my MS account, but it has not been linked to the new system.&nbsp;Is there any way to activate it?&nbsp;Many thanks
