How do I get a Digital License with a self built OEM install?
Hey everyone,
I am a bit confused.
Earlier this year I totally rebuilt two PCs with win 10 ( downloaded from Microsoft site where you had choice of ISO or bootable flash drive.
I had two legitimate OEM keys too.
Both display digital entitlement where I can put in a new HD reinstall, not enter key and voila reactivated.
Now, several months later, two other PCs, same install DVD, 2 new OEM keys but it says Windows is activated, not Digital entitlement or Digital license.
I tried swapping out a drive to see if it would auto activate, I did not enter a key and it did not auto activate.
What am I doing wrong? How do I reach the state which I desire which is to be able to swap a HD and auto activate.?
Is a win DVD generic until a key (oem, MAK or retail is entered)?
Does this have something to do with the cut off this past July?
Thanks so much!
