I have a desktop with the Windows 10 Pro activated using digital license in my Microsoft account and I have a new laptop with only Windows 10 Home activated. My question is, if I link my microsoft account from my desktop which has the digital license for Windows 10 Pro to my laptop will I be able to upgrade my laptop from Windows 10 Home to Pro?

No.
You'd have to pay for the laptop upgrade to Pro. 1 license does not cover 2 systems.

What if I remove my desktop from my Microsoft account that has the digital license and link my laptop to the account that has the digital license so that there will be only 1 system in my account? Will that work?

What OS will you use on the desktop?

You have 2 OS's....1 Home and 1 Pro.
The desktop Pro can probably be moved to the laptop. But the OEM laptop Home might not be able to be moved to the desktop.

And you don't get Pro on both, unless you pay for a second upgrade.
