Best Answer: How Do I Bind a Windows 10 Key to a Microsoft Account?
Contents

Is my Windows 10 key tied to my Microsoft account?

Although activating Windows 10 was already a simple process, it wasn’t easy to re-activate the operating system after a hardware change. Starting with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, your product key is no longer only attached to your hardware — you can also link it to your Microsoft account.

Go to Settings > Update & security > Activation. Once you get to Activation, you’ll be able to attach your MSA to your Windows 10 license key, and be able to reactivate your PC much easier in the future. From here, you’ll be prompted to enter your Microsoft account credentials.
