Win 10 and above you boot up and log into microsoft account, this will tag your ID to the COA

Then at new machine, install window, key in COA it wil lsay not activated. Sign in using microsft account and it will prompt you want to activate? You can do activation migration after some period, maybe a year or so? NOTE: the COA must be professional and not those OEM type then you can do this.
