  1. Error reactivating windows 10 after hardware change


    Yesterday I upgraded my processor, motherboard and RAM. Previously I had my windows activated via digital license which is linked to my microsoft account. When started the upgraded system windows was showing not activated. I tried using the troubleshooter but I was getting error that windows server is not accessible now please try later. I then logged in from my phone using the microsoft authenticator app. There under my devices my old and new devices were showing. I accidentally removed my old device where actually the digital license was linked. Now I am unable to activate my windows in this new system. Kindly help.

    :)

  2. windows 10 reactivation after hardware change

    I just changed motherboards, and When I follow the the steps listed in the "reactivate windows 10 after hardware change" support page, it gives me the message "unable to activate windows" message after I sign in and identify my device,
    with no error code, just a subheader that says "can't activate windows 10 on this device, try again later."

    Error reactivating windows 10 after hardware change

    Windows 10 won't reactivate after a hardware change

    I changed a lot of the hardware on my device recently, however I followed the steps on the Microsoft support page to get my computer ready for the hardware change so that I could reactivate Windows 10 after I changed the hardware. However, now it won't reactivate,
    and has the error code 0xC004F025, and when I try to troubleshoot it says "We can't reactivate Windows on this device. Try again later."

    My Windows 10 was a free upgrade from Windows 7.
