  1. Activation of Windows 10 after change of phone number.


    Hi there, this is for Microsoft management I think. I just changed my phone number and Microsoft has locked me out from accessing my details. Fair enough, sort of. But this week I am doing a new PC build and want to know if the locking out of my details is going to interfere with the activation of my new PC build when putting in my details, that never asks for my phone number only my email during the windows installation process? Thank you, Robert.

    :)

    Windows 10 Hardware change

    Technically it should not activate if its a upgrade from an OEM license. But if you follow the phone automated number sequence hopefully it will work.

    Windows 10 is tied to your hardware and you cannot upgrade a motherboard on an OEM license. (but it works with the phone activation) you can only replace the board with an identical board.

  3. Microsofts Activation services phone #?

    So I had an old rig that was running a RETAIL version of Win XP Home. Well the thing died. I want to use the product key from that old machine to do a win 7 upgrade, however, I cannot seem to find Microsoft's support number anywhere on their site, instead it redirects me to a page and here's what it says:

    Well guess freakin what, THE COMPUTER IS DEAD, THEREFORE I CAN NOT DO ANY OF THOSE DAMN THINGS!!!!!!! *Bang Head :banghead:

    This is seriously getting on my nerves!

    Even googling it takes me to the same place. Does anyone have the number for their "Activation services" department?

    Windows 10 Activation after hardware change

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand the difficulties you are facing with the Windows 10 activation after a motherboard change. Ideally, if you have signed in with the same Microsoft account before
    the changes made, then as per digital licensing policy Windows 10 PC gets activated after running the activation troubleshooter.



    In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below:

    • Did you upgrade the PC to Windows 10 or it came preinstalled with Windows 10?


    • Do you have the Product key?



    Meanwhile, we would suggest you to refer the steps as mentioned in this article:

    errors




    We would suggest you to get in touch with our Activation team and they will help you with the issue. Please refer the article

    Global Customer Service phone numbers
    to get the Customer support number as per your country or contact our
    Chat support team from the PC. Once you click on Contact support, a virtual agent will chat. Explain the issue and ask for a representative for consulting the issue.
