Windows 10: After Changing Motherboards, My Windows 10 Pro Refuses to Activate (0xC004C060)

I was recently having some troubles with my motherboard and changed it out.


Troubleshooting gives me this PC but with the old motherboard as the name and does not work when I try to activate it.


Entering my product key also does nothing and gives me the 0xC004C060 error.


Is it possible to fix this without having to contact a Microsoft employee through the phone?

Windows 10 Pro OEM Activation Error 0xC004C060

Kindly help to solve error code 0xC004C060 in Windows 10 Pro OEM Activation.

 

Activate Windows 10 after motherboard change

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I built the PC myself and it is\was a retail Windows 8 Pro license upgraded to 10.

The guide listed that I should be able to transfer the license, and following the steps given when selecting "I recently changed hardware" in the activation process it does not list my previous device to select from.

My Microsoft account is logged in on both my old and new motherboard, and my old motherboard is unable to boot at all to deactivate or retrieve any keys.

If my license is indeed available for transfer, how can I proceed from here?

Thanks.

 

windows 10 activation error 0xC004C060

Should have upgraded to win10 rather than fresh install - for the first time anyhow. Try customer support maybe.

0xC004C003, 0xC004C060, 0xC004C4A2, 0xC004C4A2, 0x803FA067L, 0xC004C001, 0xC004C004, 0xC004F004, 0xC004C007, 0xC004F005, 0xC004C00F, 0xC004C010, 0xC004C00E, 0xC004C4A4, 0xC004C4A5, 0xC004B001, 0xC004F010, 0xC004F050

Reasons why you might see these errors:

• You entered a product key that can't be used to activate Windows. Enter a different product key or buy a new product key.
• You upgraded to Windows 10, but the activation servers were busy. If you upgraded from an activated copy of
  Windows 7 or
  Windows 8.1, your copy of Windows 10 will be automatically activated, or you can wait a while and then select
  Activate. If you continue to have problems with activation, contact customer support.
• You upgraded to Windows 10 using the free upgrade offer, but
  Windows 10 isn't activated after a reinstall. Your copy of
  Windows 10 should automatically be activated as long as you didn't make any significant hardware changes to your device (such as replacing the motherboard). If you continue to have
  problems with activation, contact
  customer support.
