    I change my motherboard and use trouble shoot but cannot activate windows


    Hi guys. I just upgraded my motherboard and do a clean windows 10 pro installation. I have a digital license already linked to my account I checked this before upgrade to make sure it is linked. After installing windows 10, it said my device is not activated. I use trouble shoot in activation tab to select "I changed hardware in this device". I ticked the box "this is the device I'm using now" and then clicked activate, but it said "unable to activate device, try again later"
    What should I do?

    :)

    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.

    Windows 10 fails to update


    When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

    Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

    I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.
