The only difference between a traditional Windows license and a digital entitlement is that you no longer have to enter the license key when you install Windows 10 if you have a digital entitlement. How does a Windows 10 'digital license' activate the OS?
If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free from an activated copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, you should have a digital license instead of a product key.
Windows 10 has just made that process more transparent and with the most recent build made the process of transferring eligible retail licenses to another machine even easier.Ī digital license (called a digital entitlement in Windows 10, Version 1511) is a method of activation in Windows 10 that doesn't require you to enter a product key. Yes Windows has always been activated based off a hardware fingerprint though.
Does MS 'fingerprint' hardware information during the free upgrade / activation and store it, so that the next re-install queries MS for the fingerprint and activates Windows 10?
