    changed out mother board and hard drive


    It is asking me to activate windows. When I try it will not let me. The license in under my old email address that I cant get to so I have a new account but it has nothing in it. How can I get the key to fix this.


    Thanks


    Don

    system fail hard drive and mother

    We recently had an electrical storm and it stopped both the hard drive and the mother board chip is now history also. I had upgraded the computer to windows 10 pro but now I can not use it, is there to save the contents of hard drive and reload the recently
    purchased windows 10 pro on a replacement computer [[I have the receipt for the windows 10 pro purchase]]. Toshiba has informed me that the mother board for this laptop is no longer available.

    Apparently the mechanism to the drive motor is fried, but the contents on the drive maybe still in tack.
