  1. I can't activate windows after a hardware change. Error 0xC0EA000A. SO FRUSTRATED.


    I can't activate my new purchase of Windows on my PC. I assembled this PC and I've been having to tweak hardware and actually had to do a system restore. I may have also made the mistake of removing my linked device from my Microsoft account in the hopes that that would help. The activation tool DOES NOT WORK. The activation troubleshooter DOES NOT WORK. it's giving me error 0xC0EA000A. All of your support methods keep routing me back to doing the automated troubleshooter!!!I just want to talk to a real person and get help!!Why is this so difficult?!?! I'm so frustrated.

    :)

  2. Windows 11 Home activation error... (0xc0ea000a)

    I purchased a Microsoft Windows 11 Home key and when I try to activate Windows 11 I get error "It looks like the hardware on this device has changed. Make sure you're connected to the internet and try again later. (0xc0ea000a)"

    I have tried anything and everything that I have found on forums regarding this error code and subject but I can't seem to be able to resolve the issue.

  3. Microsoft store error code 0xC0EA000A after hardware change and Windows 10 Re-activation

    Hello all,

    I recently changed hardware on my computer which mean't I had to reactivate Windows 10 Home. My original key is a Windows 7 Home key which I used many years ago to upgrade to Windows 10 for free. However this key wouldn't work and I kept receiving a failed
    error message with this code 0xC0EA000A. I have been on the phone with Microsoft support and they gave me a new Windows 10 key and had me manually uninstall my old license and reinstall the new one through the cmd program.

    Now that my windows is activated I'm still having issues in my windows store. Games open to the splash screen logo and close immediately after. I cannot download any new programs without getting the same error code 0xC0EA000A from when I was trying to activate
    windows. I believe the store hasn't updated to realise that my windows is activated. Possibly because I reactivated windows through cmd?

    I have tried running wsreset.exe.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the store through powershell.

    I have re-registered the default windows apps through powershell.

    I have reset the store in the app section.

    I have ran the windows app troubleshooter.

    None of these seem to work.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Changed hardware, now windows 10 won't activate.

    Changed motherboard and CPU, now windows won't activate. Troubleshooting doesn't work. I have my key, but how the hell can I activate it?
