Welcome to the forum What exactly is asking for this ie Microsoft or other
microsoft user account ive confirmed id several times via password and pin
Do you dual boot or use the same Windows key on another device?
I run Windows 10 as VM and also run the same thing as native boot and it always asked me to confirm my MS Id when I switched from one to the other...
To fix this I phoned MS and got my Windows 10 digital entitlement swapped for a Windows 10 key (this was free) and it stopped happening.
In my experience (and I'm talking about MS account validation here - not Windows activation) the digital entitlement you get from the free upgrade is limited to one device without asking you to reconfirm your ID. A retail 10 key OTOH can be swapped back and forward with no problems.
