    Today I switched out my motherboard with a new one and now I can't activate Windows. I tried the troubleshooter, but after I click "I recently changed hardware on this device", I get this error message : We can’t find any devices linked to your Microsoft account that can be used to reactivate the device that you’re using at the moment.

    Unable to activate Windows after motherboard, CPU and graphic card change

    My old motherboard died after a BIOS update. I had to get a new motherboard and CPU.

    At the same time, I got a new graphic card.

    after setting everything up, Windows 10 asked me to activate windows.

    I tried the Windows activate troubleshoot after hardware change, and saw a list of the computers I have. I select the one that was running the current Windows, but it gave me an error message saying

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

    Please help.

    I can't activate my windows after changing my motherboard and cpu.

    Can't activate windows 10 after changing motherboard

    Hello,

    I can't activate my windows 10 license after changing my motherboard.

    The license I have is a Windows 7 Pro license, that got changed into a Windows 10 license, when the upgrade was free.

    Steps I took previous to the motherboard change:

    - I linked my Microsoft account with my device, so that my license is registered under my account (it showed up with my mail in the accounts section)

    Now, with the new motherboard built in, I can't activate Windows 10 anymore.

    I tried the support steps listed by the Microsoft helper (Activation -> Click Troubleshoot), but that did not work.

    In the Activitation settings I get the error code: 0xC004F213

    Does anybody know a solution for this, as I haven't found one so far.
