Windows 10: Having trouble reactivating Windows 10 Pro after hardware change

Hi guys,


I recently upgraded my hardware by completely swapping platforms from Intel to AMD. I'm running into some issues reactivating windows, especially after trying SLUI 4 and the activation troubleshooter (Selecting "I'm currently using this device", only for it to tell me it was unable to re-activate windows), as well as contacting support over the phone.


My copy of Window 10 came from the free upgrade ~4 years ago, so I can't find the original key since I wiped my SSD for a fresh install. The only common parts from my previous build are the RAM, HDD, SDD and PSU.


I've got my installation ID but that's about it


I'm at a bit of a loss, help would be greatly appreciated!

:)

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
