    Can't Reactivate Windows After Replacing my Motherboard.


    Recently I upgraded my motherboard to an MSI Gaming Edge AC. I followed the steps in Microsoft's article on "Reactivating Windows 10 After a Hardware Change," but nothing worked: I just keep getting told the same thing by troubleshooting and my PC.

    Can't Reactivate Windows After Replacing my Motherboard.

    Can't reactivate Windows 10 Pro after replacing motherboard

    Hi,

    I've just replaced a faulty motherboard in my PC and tried to reactivate Windows 10 Pro via the Windows Activation troubleshooter. The license linked to my account is an upgrade from a retail version of a previous version (so i should be able to reactivate
    it). After selecting the correct device to activate I am presented with the following error message:

    Unable to activate Windows

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

    Learn more

    You can also activate this device by going to the Store and purchasing a genuine copy of Windows.

    Go to Store

    The "Learn more" page referred to does not help as I have just followed the steps listed on that page to get to where I am now.
