So, i bought a genuine copy of windows at a store.
I have that genuine windows install at my old pc,
I have 2nd pc now for streaming use, but i install using the same disc without entering the product key.
Somehow, the 2nd pc said my windows is activated which i'm quite confuse.

One said windows is activated which is linked to my microsoft account, yet, the other one only stated windows is activated.

I'm quite confuse here, as i thought windows only let 1 genuine windows running at a time.

WHATS GOING ON HERE?

Did you use the same email address on both PC?
its possible windows has mistakenly linked both to same account, I assume the newer one will be deactivated as I assume its a 1st come, 1st serve situation.

you should be able to contact Microsoft to sort it out.
