Windows 10: I can't reactivate windows using troubleshooter after hardware change.

Hello, I can't seem to reactivate windows after a hardware change, even after I have tied the license onto my microsoft account. When I use the troubleshooter, it gives an error saying that I have to try again and connect to the internet, but I AM connected to the internet and can't seem to reactivate my license. Hardware changes include motherboard and processor. Original disk install still hasn't been moved. Thanks for the help.

I just changed motherboards, and When I follow the the steps listed in the "reactivate windows 10 after hardware change" support page, it gives me the message "unable to activate windows" message after I sign in and identify my device,
with no error code, just a subheader that says "can't activate windows 10 on this device, try again later."

 

Windows 10 won't reactivate after a hardware change

I changed a lot of the hardware on my device recently, however I followed the steps on the Microsoft support page to get my computer ready for the hardware change so that I could reactivate Windows 10 after I changed the hardware. However, now it won't reactivate,
and has the error code 0xC004F025, and when I try to troubleshoot it says "We can't reactivate Windows on this device. Try again later."

My Windows 10 was a free upgrade from Windows 7.
