Transferring digital licence onto new system

[wayne955]

Hey all,

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  my MS account, but it has not been linked to the new system.

Is there any way to activate it?

Many thanks

You can call Microsoft support, and request the Windows activation by phone.

Start > Settings > Update & Security > Activation > Activate Windows Now > Activate by Phone

@SalmanAhmed I do not have the option to activate by phone listed in my activation page of settings.

You can only transfer retail license, not OEM.
