    Hi,

    I have a Macbook Pro M1 and last year I activated Windows with a digital key. My version was Windows 11 Pro ARM Insider. A month ago, I had to send my MacBook for repair to Apple Store, where the motherboard needed to replaced. Because of issues with the synchronization of iCloud, I had to recreate my macOS user. Also, I didn't have a backup on my Windows VM.

    Therefore I had to reinstall Parallels Desktop, and it installed automatically the regular version of Windows (Windows 11 Pro ARM). When connecting Windows with my Outlook account, it refuses to use my digital key. I called Microsoft support and they told me that a digital key was automatically deleted when there is a change of hardware, even for a repair.

    So my question is, which licence key should I get, another digital or a product key?

    Long time ago, I could transfer a product key to a new PC, but now I'm not so sure, and can't really figure it out on the microsoft web site.

    Thanks
