Windows 10: Acivation Windows after Hardware change

I was planned to change my PC with new hardware (motherboard, etc.). But I didn't know what to do before change it. The question is:


1. What should I prepare on old hardware before change it with new?

2. How many time I can reactive license?is there limit or no?

3. If there is mistake with my activation, what should I do?

4. Is my license will get banned if I just change hardware and reactive license?

5. If get banned, will it be back?or goodbye forever?


Thanks for all help here, 'couse I didn't know what to do if I change my hardware and reactive my license. And I'm afraid that I will loose my license if change new hardware without anything to do.

Unable to activate Windows after hardware change

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Usually the error code 0xC004F213 comes when there is a hardware change done on the computer (like Motherboard or Hard drive). The Windows license is associated with the device hardware. If there is any significant hardware changes, such as replacing
motherboard or hard drive, Windows won’t be able to recognize the license.

I suggest you to try the troubleshooting steps from the article
Reactivating Windows 10 after a hardware change and see if Windows gets activated.

If you are using an OEM computer that came with Windows 7, and the motherboard has not been changed, then you can follow the steps to retrieve the product key that came with your OEM computer. To retrieve the product key follow the steps mentioned
below:

1. Type Command prompt in the search bar, that is on the taskbar.
   
2. Right click on Command prompt icon and select Run as administrator.
   
3. Type the command and press on Enter: wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey
   
4. You will find the product key.
   

Hope it helps.

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
