    Cannot reactivate Windows 10.


    Old mobo died, and wouldn't POST. Replaced mobo, with a known good board. Found this article on linking activation key with microsoft account, but it requires the old board to be functional to run the utility.https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/reactivating-windows-after-a-hardware-change-2c0e962a-f04c-145b-6ead-fb3fc72b6665#ID0EBD=Windows_10Is there a workaround for someone like me with hardward that failed?
