Hi
I have a PC with windows 10 Pro. The key is retail ( information obtained through PowerShell ). To change the motherboard, am I required to create a Microsoft account to transfer the key to the new motherboard? If so, how do I activate the key on the new motherboard? Is it by logging into the operating system through the Microsoft account? And if I create the account, am I obliged to always log in through the account in the future, to be able to use the operating system, or can I only use a local offline account? I currently do not have a Microsoft account, only a local account, because I find it boring and tedious, having to always type account + password, and I don't want Microsoft to know more about my life. The license is not marked as digital and was purchased on a website.
I would appreciate your information.
Thanks
