  1. Having Trouble Reactivating Windows after a motherboard change


    I am currently experiencing an issue reactivating windows on my home PC.When I try to troubleshoot, windows detects a hardware change where I press the "I changed hardware on this device recently"I am then able to click on the device I am using and click "Activate" which is then followed by a screen saying "Unable to activate windows" with text below "We can't reactivate Windows on this device. Try again later."I was able to previously activate windows on this device but it then reset the status of my activation somehow and now says I need to activate with the above being the result of this er

  3. win 10 motherboard change, reactivating windows

    Hi Famie,

    If you are planning to change your motherboard, you will still be able to activate your Windows 10. In Windows 10 version 1607, there is a feature that you can link your Microsoft account to Windows 10 digital license on your device.
    This can help you reactivate Windows using the Activation troubleshooter if you make a significant hardware change later, such as replacing the motherboard.

    That being said, we suggest that you follow the steps given on this article
    to reactivate your Windows 10 after a hardware change.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
