    Can't reactivate Windows 10 after faulty motherboard replaced

    Hi,

    I had to replace my motherboard as it was faulty. I only built the system about 2 months ago.

    When I try to activate Windows 10 it just says I need to buy another product key. Even after running the troubleshooter it just says "We can’t reactivate Windows on this device. Try again later. " and helpfully suggest I buy Windows 10 again.

    How can I get this activated?

    Thanks

    Faulty motherboard with windows 10 OEM

    I built a PC 2 days ago and I received a faulty motherboard, I have already activated an OEM version of windows 10 when the motherboard was working. Will I be able to reactivate windows when I replace the motherboard? (with the same model through warranty)

    Reactivating Windows 10 after replacing faulty motherboard

    Spilt liquid on my motherboard so had to replace it. Ive now installed the replacement, but windows is no longer activated.

    Ive run through the activation troubleshooter and followed the link for "I recently changed hardware on this device"

    I selected my PC from the list of my Windows 10 devices, checked "This is the device that Im using at the moment" and clicked the Activate button, but get -

    "Unable to activate Windows

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

    I've now been trying for 24 hours but always get the same message
