I have upgraded and activated 15 different windows 7 professional computers fully and properly on this Microsoft account. After each Upgrade and activation this message was displayed. "Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account". I started getting rid of and loosing all my old windows 7 pro keys because I no longer needed them. I only needed my Microsoft account with my many linked digital licenses, right? I am now finding that this is not the case:
For example on this current pc I had windows 7 professional. I upgraded to windows 10 pro and activated with this account(Linked the digital license). I purchased a copy of home edition a year ago to convert this pc into a gaming machine. After realizing home edition is not any better for gaming I tried to upgrade back to pro since I have over 15 digitally linked licenses. That did not work, but support insisted that if I did a windows 10 pro fresh install that It would activate automatically due to my account. I followed the suggestion and did a fresh install, however It did not activate. Support also claims I have no ownership of windows 10 pro even after all my linked licenses. Now I have no way of retrieving all my old professional keys. I assumed all my licenses would have been linked to my account like Microsoft assured me. I am down thousands of dollars of previous windows keys that were disposed of after "linking".
I made this discussion as I know I can not be the only person with this issue. I would like to be given at least one physical windows 10 Professional key that I can hold on too since all my linked digital licenses are meaningless and do not exist!
