Hi,

According to your description, you may need to buy a new pro license.
When Windows 10 was first released, the offer for a free upgrade was available, but it ended on July 29, 2016.

Hope above information can help you.

Hello,

If you've linked your digital license to your Microsoft account, it is saved as a record for your Microsoft account. However, the digital entitlement is valid of lifetime of your machine which is upgraded from Windows 7 to 10. If that machine dies, you'll need to buy new license of new machine, IMO.

Regards.
