I don't see it any where even in my device list (my custom built PC)

"Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account" (MS account) and "Windows is activated with a digital license" (local account). I want to be sure it is there online if I ever change
my PC's hardwares and/or reinstall, from scratch, so I can reactivate
online easily.
Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)
If you did the W7/W81 to W10 "free upgrade", then MagicalJellyBean
would report a generic key, like these examples. These are seen on
some of my machines here. These don't match the sticker on any PC.
VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T (Windows 10 Professional) <--- X79
YTMG3-N6DKC-DKB77-7M9GH-8HVX7 (Windows 10 Home - multi language) <--- laptop!
BT79Q-G7N6G-PGBYW-4YWX6-6F4BT (Windows 10 Home - single language)
If you bought a Retail boxed Win10 and used its key, then
the key you entered at installation time (or when re-keying by
doing an Anytime Upgrade), then the sticker value would be
seen in MagicalJellyBean.

The article here has some info on key location and display commands.
Most of these don't work.

However, the Registry one is OK.
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
BackupProductKeyDefault
You can see a free upgrade with the 3V66T generic key here.
This one started as licensed W7 Pro, and via free upgrade
became W10 Pro. The license key is the generic one listed above.
