How do I switch from MAK activation to a retail license linked to a Microsoft account in Windows 10?
My current Windows 10 system is activated using a MAK key, but I already have a genuine retail Windows 10 digital license linked to my personal Microsoft account. I would like to switch the system’s activation method from MAK to the retail license linked to my account to ensure long-term stability of the activation status and maintain the association with my account.

By following these steps, you have essentially told your PC, "Stop using the volume license key and instead look for the retail license associated with my account." The troubleshooter then completed the connection. Your activation status should now be stable and tied to your account for the long term.
