Unable to transfer windows 10 digital license from dual boot OC to new computer

Do windows digital licenses get stuck to dual boot hackintoshes?

Hi, I’m in the process of dismantling my old hackintosh. I have another pc that i’m using for windows (been running it no activation for a while now)

Trying to activate my digital copy of windows 10 home RETAIL (no cd key, bought from microsoft online) on my other pc but I can’t get it to activate. Won’t show my new pc in the list of devices for activation, just my hackintosh windows install

On my microsoft account online, it shows both pc’s. The hackintosh windows install appears using the injected mac serial number. I reset the hackintosh windows install to factory defaults, but bo luck.

My windows boot folder is still on the other hackintosh drive with osx and the efi

I haven’t wiped the main drive with osx yet as I still need it for a little while

Microsoft support never called me back. Opened a ticket yesterday morning
