Link a Microsoft Account to a Windows 10 license

I have a retail version of Windows 7 Pro

Some time ago i took advantage to upgrade my o/s to Windows 10 .

I currently sign into PC with a microsoft account.

Motherboard on PC may be giving up on me so I wish to replace it.

I have done a bit of research and it seems i should be able to link my Microsoft account with Windows 10 license which would then make reactivation easier.

I have followed instructions to go to Settings, Update and Security, Activation.

Here it says "product key: windows 10 on this device is activated with digital entitlement"

There is not an option to Link my microsoft account with Windows 10 licence key.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Here is the guide to link your MIcrosoft Account to your digital license.

Microsoft Account - Link to Digital License on Windows 10 PC - Windows 10 Forums

Thanks for message but I am not sure if it helps me.

Well according to the guide the following applies to me as i am already logged into Windows with Microsoft Account

Note
You will not see Add an account if you are already signed in to your Microsoft account since it will already be linked to the digital license.

If you’ve already added your Microsoft account to your device, you’ll see Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account on the Activation page automatically.


ie i should see " Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account"
But I don't see that. I just see. "product key: windows 10 on this device is activated with digital entitlement"

And the guide does not show how I can confirm licence is linked to Microsoft Account.

that will be the problem. My build no is 10586.589

Yes. That worked. Thank you so much. All linked fine!
