key points of Tutorial "Link Microsoft Account to Windows 10 Digital "
Full title of tutorial is Link Microsoft Account to Windows 10 Digital License Windows 10 Installation Upgrade Tutorials
We have a bunch of Win 10 Pro systems. All were upgrades from Retail Win 7 or Win 8. Three systems have just one Win 10 install each, and one multi-booting system has three separate Win 10 installs, in separate disk partitions. All these upgrades were created with just local accounts (for privacy reasons).
Last week, I re-installed the motherboard in one system after a repair (same board, just some chips replaced, maybe?) I had to re-activate. And with only a local account, I had to do an activation over the phone. I don't want to risk losing a license, so I want to get all these systems covered in a Microsoft Account before something else goes wrong.
So I read this this entire tutorial and I would like to validate if the following are true for the Creators Update:
- I can still use my local account for my daily work, as long as I create a separate admin account that I use to link the digital entitlement to a Microsoft Account.
- For that separate admin account, the password that I use to log into my system has to be the same as the Microsoft Account.
- If I have more than one admin account on a system, only one admin account can link that digital entitlement to a Microsoft Account.
- I can use just one Microsoft account to register with Microsoft all the digital entitlements across all our systems. That is, I can "manage" all my entitlements with just one Microsoft Account.
Yes to this bullet? No? Cerebrus seems to saying NO in that thread. Others seem to think YES.
Thanks.
