    yes it was 115x something. It was late night for me.. I glitched :) sorry for the muck up

    P.S. on a sunny side - although I couldn't migrate my free W10 upgrade to new PC, I could manage to get another free upgrade and installed new copy on the new PC.

    I agree with cereberus, something doesn't add up. Before 1607 there is no "Linked to your Microsoft Account" part. And it says entitlement instead of license. If it was 1607 logged in with a local account, the linked to part would be missing, but it should say license not entitlement. It must be an earlier build?
    Confirmed. @maxima's screenshot is from 1511 (or earlier?) that part of Settings had an extensive makeover for 1607. These two screenshots are both from the same PC with different system images restored and logged in with a local account...

    I'm glad you got it sorted. :)
