Nevertheless, this article is going to show you how exactly you can activate windows 10 versions (windows pro, home, and others) for free. This icon or text whatever you call it occupies the bottom right of your windows PC and sometimes you’ll see an often popup window with a “ Activate Your Windows 10” message. I can't imagine moving Windows from an HDD to an SSD to be a super significant hardware change as it's a very common scenario and the motherboard and other parts were left untouched.I have been using windows for over 2 years now, however, nothing is more annoying about windows than having an activate Windows watermark. Or perhaps I need to contact someone at Microsoft to have them turn my license into a digital one? Is there a way to force Windows to link to the digital license that it used to say I have on my Microsoft account? UPDATE: You can check how long your license will last by running slmgr /xpr in the command prompt. Should I be worried that my license will eventually expire? There doesn't seem to be any way to tell how long it will remain valid. Unfortunately, I can't open the Activation Troubleshooter nor add a Microsoft account in the Activation settings as Windows 10 is already activated. However, when I check my account info on, I do see my PC under Devices and it says that no issues are found. My Microsoft account is already signed in to the PC and is an Administrator, but it doesn't seem to be linking the license that I assume I still have to my PC. This came as a surprise as I don't belong to any organization and it's a home computer. However, when I checked my Activation status, it now says 'Windows is activated using your organization's activation service.' When I got home, I logged into my Microsoft account to sync my Windows activation with Microsoft. I recently had an SSD installed at a computer shop, had them make it my primary drive, and had them install Windows 10 Pro on it. I assume they installed Windows 10 Pro on it, but what I am not sure about is how I got a Digital Certificate in the first place and how it got tied to my Microsoft account as it's been so long.

UPDATE: Correcting the above information.

Windows 10 Pro came with my machine and it used to say 'Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account.'
