Error: 0xC004F211 while activating Windows after changing Motherboard and CPU

Yesterday I switched from Intel to AMD. Since then I have been trying to get Windows to activate on the new platform but without success. I read all the links and suggestions people had, but nothing helped. The error code I was
getting was 0xC004F211. I unregistered the key from the SSD in hope getting it to activate that way.

After going through the Troubleshooter, selecting "I changed hardware on this device recently" and selecting the current PC I get the following message
"Unable to activate Windows We can’t reactivate Windows on this device. Try again later."

I reinstalled the whole system.

Once before I changed my PC completely and reactivated the licence without any problems using my
Hotmail account. What can I do now? The key I am trying to use was for Windows 8 (since I upgraded to 10).

One thing I noted is that when I try to enter my key, the message below states that the last product key I entered can't be used for this Windows copy. The ID that is inside the brackets doesn't match the one I had before.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We appreciate the efforts you have taken in trying to resolve this issue. We understand that after changing the Motherboard and CPU, you are unable to activate Windows.



We would like to inform that whenever a major hardware change is made, which in your case are Motherboard and CPU, Windows won’t be able to find a matching license the next time you start your device.



As you have upgraded the computer from Windows 8 to Windows 10, the license is a Digital License and is directly linked with your Microsoft account. You may want to check the article on

Reactivating Windows 10 after a hardware change and see if that helps.
