[SOLVED] How to view my digital windows licenses that are saved to my Microsoft account.

Never had a need to do this till now. There is a way to do this and I forgot how. Please advise. Googling this did not help.
Hardware is what I know not software

go here - https://account.microsoft.com/account?lang=en-au
click the logon account option in top right
now i don't know if you can see any that aren't attached to devices but it should show any PC under the devices header that are linked to your account.

I don't think there is a way to see the actual licence codes themselves, this just shows whats linked to account.

what are you wanting to do?

So I just installed windows with no CD key, When I went to activate in windows update area it gave me a list of like 450 windows 10/11 keys -- dear lord don't ask I selected the first one and I think I may have kicked another computer off lol. Wanted to go back in and look but the screen is gone now.

had windows been on PC before? It should auto active it.

Otherwise you need to use a troubleshooter and link it to your account

how many licences do you have?

its likely website is still showing old info as I doubt it be updated instantly once you do that. You may need to contact Microsoft to fix it as they only ones who can.

I have 450 total on this account. I forgot this PC had home and I installed pro so I got lazy and just picked a pro key and pushed it to this system, But I am sure that will deactivate on the other system just don't know where who when or how that other system is being used now.

You can wait a day as website might be slow to update or you can contact Microsoft as they only ones who can fix it. They can do it from their end.

up to you what license to use but you might want to reinstall windows as home to use licence it had. Still need to contact MS if another PC goes offline.

Yeah, I wish I would have dug more through the list when I see it as it shows the last known IP/location of each key, not that I really need to see that. I kind of forgot about the digital licenses attaching to the original MS account. The way I am running things leaves a lot to be desired lol!

If I would have done things less, Ghetto for a better word I would have maybe 5-10 not 450 lol, A story for another time. Thank you for your help.
