    I had to change the mother board and now my windows won't activate.


    I bought this computer a complete system with windows 10. I have never seen the activation key and I don't know what it is. There was a problem with the computer having some type of fault that caused crashes and lock ups with jamming up sounds and all sorts of strange video and audio effects that would at times result in the sound driver uninstalling and then having to re-install the sound drivers to get the sound going again. Complete crashes and blackout screen and lost of data occurred regularly. The computer had problems. So I have changed the mother board to see if it has fixed the problem. But now windows will not re-activate with a new mother board.. I need to activate windows on my computer system that I bought on 21/12/19 that now has a new motherboard.


    During the fault finding process I installed another solid state drive which improved the rate of crashes but the problem must be in the mother board. So after fitting a new mother board everything looks like it is working properly but I can't re-activate the operating system now.

    I change the mother board and my windows can't activate

    Hi There

    I'm using windows 10 pro digital license on my PC and my mother board is broken. I change the mother board and reset the PC using same windows that installed on my HDD. Now the windows already finished reset but it cannot be activate.

    I already sign into my Microsoft account and go to the Activation > Troubleshooting > I change hardware on this device recently > ….. But it didn't show my current device there. What should I do?
