Furthermore the digital license is no longer good enough and you'll need either the product key (given at purchase) or an MS account that has a license for the OS. To jump to a different edition then yes you need a new license. But that is only across editions (Home to Home for example). Upgrading from Win 10 to Win 11 is free and the same license works. Once you're back to the original license you can upgrade like normal. The notebook's recovery software (which is generally either on a hidden partition on the hard drive or available for download from the manufacturer) would restore the machine to its original OS using the digital license. The license cannot be moved to another machine as it is tied to the board itself. A digital license is tied to the motherboard and so no license key is needed. If you bought a laptop from an OEM and it had Win 10 on it then most likely it is using a digital license. This really depends because licensing is complicated.
