    Activating Windows 10 Pro After a Hardware Upgrade!

    I followed all the steps to linking my Windows 10 Pro to my Microsoft account so that I could upgrade my hardware, reinstall Windows 10 Pro, and activate it, but it's not working. I'm signed into my Microsoft account. I tried the activation troubleshooter,
    selecing that I recently changed hardware, etc. Nothing is working. I can see my old computer under my Microsoft account, as well as my new one (with better hardware). I changed the motherboard, ram, and CPU. Any suggestions would be wonderful.

    Cannot Activate Windows 10 after Hardware Change

    I recently changed motherboard and processor and did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro.

    I am now unable to activate windows. I have tried the following methods:

    • Entered product key directly
    • Used the activation troubleshooter
    • Attempted the "changed hardware recently" option and signed in to microsoft account
    When entering the product key directly, I get the following error code: 0x803fa067

    Activation of Windows Pro after recent Hardware Change

    windows activation—hardware changed siginficantly

    From time to time on my thoroughbred PC, I get a Windows activation message that says my hardware changed siginificantly and I have to re-activate Windows. My hardware hasn't changed any more than a network card (went from a wireless g card to onboard lan to a wired network card), and the install is legit. Why is it doing this, and how can I stop it?
