    Can't reactivate Windows 10 Pro


    Hello,Genuine question about reactivating Windows 10 Pro after multiple calls with support. I bought Windows 10 retail for $119.99. I needed the ability to use remote desktop during COVID quarantine, so I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro for $99. My PC was in dire need of an upgrade, so last week I replaced the motherboard and processor. No worries, right? I bought Windows 10 and the upgrade, their digital licensing will take care of it. Nope. I get the "Activate Windows" watermark. I tried to activate Windows 10 Pro to no end. I call support, and get no answer the first time. Tried again the next d

    :)

  2. Motherboard change unable to reactivate Windows 10 Pro -

    I have searched this topic and everything seems to be almost a year old. This is a homebuilt machine circa 2015. It started with an ASUS FM2+ motherboard with an AMD A5600K processor. It was Windows 7 Pro, upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro then to Windows 10 Pro.
    Saturday the motherboard died. An exact replacement could not be located so a Gigabyte card was installed. No changes to the hard drives. Booted the machine and Windows automatically started and then did a "revert" then installed the latest updates. C Drive was in the red so I deleted all of the old install files using Windows Clean-up. Went to reactivate, checked the significant hardware change and entered my MS account information - The computer (none of my computers) were listed and now it is telling me that I have to spend $200 to buy a copy of Windows 10 Pro.
    Have not yet called Customer Support as the computer is at home and I work during the day -
    I do have a disk image or two that may be a year old -

    Suggestions - should I just shell out the $200 and move on

    TIA

    Reactivation Windows 10 Pro issue

    I have changed my hardware recently and found that I can't reactivate Windows 10 Pro. In Reactivate Windows section, I can't find my current device in the list, only my old motherboards appeared ( MSI and Gigabyte ). My old hardware are I7-4790 + MSI H81M
    Mobo + 8GB DDR3 Ram and I upgraded to I5-9400F + My new Asrock MOBO B350 or 450 something (Can't remember) + 16 GB DDR4 Ram. There is no my current MOBO in the reactivate section, only the old one appeared (MSI H81M Mobo). Pls someone help me.

    Also note that I have signed in with my microsoft account that links with Windows 10 pro licence but it only shows the old mobo in the reactivate list.
