  3. windows 10 reactivation after hardware change

    I just changed motherboards, and When I follow the the steps listed in the "reactivate windows 10 after hardware change" support page, it gives me the message "unable to activate windows" message after I sign in and identify my device,
    with no error code, just a subheader that says "can't activate windows 10 on this device, try again later."

    Windows wont reactivate after Hardware change

    My windows wont allow me to reactivate after a hardware change when I use the troubleshooter it shows my old device and not the new one. Win 10 was upgraded from 8.1 and had a digital license which it said was linked to my Microsoft account.
