使用最新版本的Windows，即Windows 10，您现在可以不用担心跟踪那个在激活Windows时总是如此重要的讨厌的小产品密钥^{(product key)}。通常情况下，无论如何您都不需要它，但在某些情况下，您需要重新安装Windows或更改计算机上的某些硬件，而Windows突然没有被激活。

我最近不得不将Windows 10的副本从旧 PC 移动到新 PC，我不知道我的产品密钥^{(product key)}在哪里了。我没有在电脑上，在证书上，甚至在我的电子邮件中，所以我有点卡住了。在与微软^(Microsoft)讨论这个问题后，他们告诉我，我可以简单地将我的产品密钥^{(product key)}链接到我的微软帐户^{(Microsoft account)}，这基本上可以使它成为一个数字许可证。

在本文中，我将向您展示如何将您的Windows 许可证^{(Windows license)}链接到您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}以进行备份和保管^{(backup and safekeeping purposes)}。你不会经常使用它，但当你需要它时，你会很高兴它在那里。

将Windows 许可证链接^{(Link Windows License)}到Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft Account)}

显然，您需要已设置Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}才能使用此功能。如果需要，您可以在此处注册。^{(sign up for one here)}拥有帐户后，请正常登录Windows（使用您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}或本地帐户），然后依次转到Start和Settings。

接下来，单击更新和安全^{( Update & Security)}。

最后，单击左侧菜单中的激活。^(Activation)

在顶部，您将获得有关您安装的Windows版本以及它是否已激活的一些信息。

如果product key/license可以存储在您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}中，您将在最底部看到添加 Microsoft 帐户选项。^{(Add a Microsoft account)}单击^(Click)添加帐户^{(Add an account)}，您将被要求登录。

如果您的产品密钥不支持数字许可证，那么您只会看到另外两行，即列出的产品 ID^{(Product ID)}和产品密钥^{(Product Key)}，但没有添加Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}的选项。在这些情况下，不要丢失该产品密钥^{(product key)}非常重要，因为您只能使用该密钥激活Windows 。

链接帐户后，您现在应该会看到消息说Windows 已使用链接到您的 Microsoft 帐户的数字许可证激活^{(Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account)}。

在以后的文章^{(future post)}中，我将向您展示如何使用存储在您的Microsoft 帐户中的数字许可证重新激活^{(Microsoft account)}Windows。如果您有任何问题，请随时发表评论。享受！

How to Link Windows Product Key to Microsoft Account

With the latest release of Windows, Windows 10, you сan now worry less about keeping track of that pesky little product key thаt is always so importаnt when activating Windоws. Nоrmally, you will never need it anyway, but there are cases when you need to reinstall Windows or change some hardware on your computer and all of a sudden Windows is not activated.

I recently had to move a copy of Windows 10 from an old PC to a new one and I had no idea where my product key was anymore. I didn’t have it on the computer, on a certificate or even in my email, so I was kind of stuck. After talking with Microsoft about the issue, they told me I could simply link up my product key to my Microsoft account, which would basically make it into a digital license.

In this article, I’m going to show you how to link your Windows license to your Microsoft account for backup and safekeeping purposes. You won’t use it often, but when you need it, you’ll be glad it’s there.

Link Windows License to Microsoft Account

Obviously, you’ll need to have a Microsoft account already setup in order to use this feature. You can sign up for one here if needed. Once you have an account, log into Windows normally (with your Microsoft account or your local account) and go to Start and then Settings.

Next, click on Update & Security.

Finally, click on Activation in the left-hand menu.

At the top, you’ll get some info about which edition of Windows you have installed and whether or not it is activated.

If the product key/license can be stored in your Microsoft account, you’ll see the Add a Microsoft account option at the very bottom. Click on Add an account and you’ll be asked to sign in.

If your product key doesn’t support a digital license, then you’ll just see two other lines, Product ID and Product Key listed, but with no option to add a Microsoft account. In these cases, it’s really important you don’t lose that product key because you can only activate Windows using that key.

Once you have linked your account, you should now see that the message says Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account.

In a future post, I’m going to show you how you can reactivate Windows using a digital license that is stored in your Microsoft account. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Enjoy!
