so i wanted to activate windows 10 with my digital license, but my new pc wasnt there to be selected in troubleshoot even though i was signed in with microsoft account so i did somthing stupid and went online looking for "free" product keys of which obviously didnt work, now i dont even have the option to troubleshoot and select new device all i see is that trouble shoot is completed and we cat activate cos im not connected to the internet when i am and that im not connected to my organizers activation server because i used bad product keys online that didnt work
, so is there away to reset this because i need to use my digital licence

Did they give you an actual reason?
I'd try again, talking to a different person.

Last week, another member here had a somewhat similar issue. The first guy he talked to said his license could not be transferred. His supervisor said it could not be transferred.
Only until the bosses boss read the links I forwarded, did they realize their mistake.

Correct procedures do not always flow down to the frontline phone tech.

i went to my old pc and my digital license is linked to my microsoft, but wont work
