I know that OEM licenses cannot be transfered to new Windows installations, but in this case I am moving existing Windows 10 installation with the SSD to a new setup.

My Microsoft-account is tied to the digital license.

From the perspective of the SSD / W10 install, it would be the same installation with major hardware changes, right?

If I need to re-activate Windows after moving the SSD, can I still do this thing?:
Troubleshoot => I recently changed hardware on this device => This is the device that I'm using at the moment

I say it again: I am not trying to re-activate inside a new installation, but the old installation that is on the SSD from the old PC setup.


EDIT:

The question here Can't activate Windows 10 Pro with license linked to Microsoft account or product key is similar but the OP tried to activate new install, instead of old install. Also the OP or others in that question never mention trying the phone activation so could that be a 50/50 solution?

OP said that he tried to change the license key and got an error, but did he get the option to call phone activation? It should appear if there is a problem with the license key.
