Windows 10: I need to reactivate my GENUINE copy of windows 10 home after my motherboard died. I need...

I have been SEARCHING all day to find a way to talk to an actual human in live chat and I haven't been able to find the link. I am signed in to Microsoft and everything. I've looked at other peoples questions that ask how to talk to a live person and those methods do not work anymore because the prompts are not the same. I am quite frustrated at this point.My copy was a physical copy of windows. I've since lost the box with the product key, but I've been able to find my installation ID and Activation ID and Product Key via Youtube videos online. I feel I shouldn't have to pay for another copy

Retrieve genuine windows from a motherboard that died?

So my old motherboard died suddenly with a genuine copy of windows 10 on it. I didn't have a chance to use sysprep or anything like that. I now have a brand new motherboard, but do I have to rebuy windows? or is there a way to un-link it from my dead motherboard
and link it to my new one? Thanks

Windows 7 not genuine problem

It seems like that's an OEM windows copy, it will do that the every time you reinstall the OS. If you have the key, next time you see the "not genuine windows copy" click it and choose to activate by phone, everything else is pretty straight forward as it explains step-by-step. If it doesn't work, then its highly likely that you got a Pirate copy.

 

Motherboard change unable to reactivate Windows 10 Pro -

I have searched this topic and everything seems to be almost a year old. This is a homebuilt machine circa 2015. It started with an ASUS FM2+ motherboard with an AMD A5600K processor. It was Windows 7 Pro, upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro then to Windows 10 Pro.
Saturday the motherboard died. An exact replacement could not be located so a Gigabyte card was installed. No changes to the hard drives. Booted the machine and Windows automatically started and then did a "revert" then installed the latest updates. C Drive was in the red so I deleted all of the old install files using Windows Clean-up. Went to reactivate, checked the significant hardware change and entered my MS account information - The computer (none of my computers) were listed and now it is telling me that I have to spend $200 to buy a copy of Windows 10 Pro.
Have not yet called Customer Support as the computer is at home and I work during the day -
I do have a disk image or two that may be a year old -

Suggestions - should I just shell out the $200 and move on

TIA
