So I got all my PCs upgraded to Win10 and linked to MS account, and I am trying to RMA a mobo tmr and licence may be gone if I dont back it up.

 

the steps I have done to all PC/ laptops,

upgraded win10 from win7, linked to MS account. 

But requires stupid login every time, so reinstalled Win10 and it is automatically activated.

 

Now some after long time, I forgot which MS accounts were linked to which PC. (forgot most login details....)

What should I do?

shall I create new MS account and link? (one PC linked to two accounts, assuming only new account works?)

what If I link a PC to an existing account which already Linked another PC?

Go to https://account.microsoft.com/account/connect-devices

Sign in and check Devices - it will show the computer name its linked with. You can even click on Device Info and it will show you the hardware so you can be certain which PC it is.
