Windows 10: 2 windows keys stored in one motherboard?

Hello, I recently upgraded my motherboard on my pc. I built another pc with the old motherboard. Did not realize that the windows 10 activation keys are stored in the motherboard so I bought a new key to put in the other pc that I built. Now my pc with the new motherboard has the "Activate Windows" text on the display. And I cannot activate it with the product key that was already on my pc.What can I do to activate back my windows?
