I just set up Windows 10 Pro on my laptop without entering the activation key, using the same installation drive as my desktop. After completing all updates, I realized my laptop now shows activation while the desktop isn’t active. Since I’m using the same Microsoft account on both devices, I’m curious if the activation was transferred to the laptop and lost from the desktop. If so, can I revert it back to the desktop? Thanks for your assistance.

Confirm if it's fully enabled or if the watermark remains hidden in the bottom corner.

I have the same problem, I understand that if its not activated there is a watermark and you cannot customize it I just want a way to get rid of the watermark.

The keys are connected to the MS accounts, so switching accounts triggers an automatic transfer. I’d just wait until you’re back home to verify.

You just shared a screenshot here, and it appears to be marked as enabled in the settings.

The software is enabled through a digital license tied to your Microsoft account.

Absolutely. Opening the app and logging in with your Microsoft account connects it, and it updates automatically each time you sign in.
