Now i want to change my motherboard. I lost windows 8 cd key. though windows activation showing - "Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account". so after installing new motherboard can i use activation troubleshoot to activate my windows 10 by transferring the license to the new hardware using my microsoft account which holds the digital license of that windows 10? or free upgrade to windows 10 after activating windows 8 on new motherboard?
on home tab of "ShowKeyPlus" app, it's showing my product ID(20 digits), installed key((25 digits)(there's an asterisk beside my installed key which says-*default key - requires a digital license for activation) and these-
