    After installing the memory and m.2 nvme ssd with an additional 2.5" ssd for storage, I installed a newly purchased OEM windows 10 pro O.System. I had an overheating problem with the fan after a couple weeks and NewEgg is sending me a replacement NUC8i3BEH kit. I will be re-installing the same exact hardware with the operating system still installed. Since the hardware is all the same except the motherboard which is the same model as the failed pc with the same UEFI Bios version will I have to re-activate the original license or worse yet buy a new license after only 2 weeks use? The original license on the failed pc was "activated with a digital license" and shows up on my Microsoft Account list of devices. What should I do to activate that license if it asks to be re-activated? I have attached a snapshot of my MS account device listing for the NUC pc.

  3. License expiring on a laptop bought on ebay

    Hi all,

    I bought a 'opened but never used' laptop on ebay, advertised as having genuine windows 10 pro.

    After about a couple of months use at home I started getting the license will expire message. The option I have is to change product key and its saying its activated using your organisations activation service.

    There was no product key sticker on box or laptop and was not supplied in any form to me. I just started using laptop assuming all is set up and correct.

    I messaged user on ebay and they are suggesting i buy a key off another ebay user - for a couple of quid - which sounds very fishy.

    Is the problem fixable or have I bought a dud?

    Thanks

    Can't Activate Windows 10 Home Edition After A Motherboard Replacement

    I recently built a PC about two weeks ago, bought a digital license in the Windows Store, and then decided to switch to a different motherboard last week. I cannot get Windows 10 to re-activate. I'm signed in with the same Microsoft account I purchased the
    license with, and I have followed the "Activation Troubleshooting" steps. Once I select my computer, I get the following message:

    Unable to activate Windows

    We can't reactivate Windows on this device. Try again later.

    It also tells me I can go buy it. I have proof of purchases for my old motherboard, the one I replaced it with, and my digital license I bought in the Windows store. Don't understand why I can't reactivate.
