    Windows activation fails after upgrading CPU and motherboard

    Hello,

    I get an error message trying to re-confirm Windows 10 activation after upgrading motherboard and CPU. Error message that came was: "Unable to activate Windows. We can't reactivate Windows as our servers aren't available right now. Wait for a few minutes
    or try adding your Microsoft account again. Learn more".

    This is now the second day in a row that it does not work.

    Have you seen the same, and if yes, any suggestions for a fix?

    Background:

    -I was following the process recommended by Microsoft Support for the activation after motherboard and CPU upgrade.

    -Before upgrade I had perfectly activated win 10.

    BR,

  3. Windows 10 and upgrading motherboard

    Hi,



    Thank you for bringing up your query on Microsoft Community.



    The only hardware changes that can negatively impact activation status once you upgrade to free version are the changes to the:

    • CPU
    • TPM
    • Motherboard replacement
    The following changes are examples of hardware changes that will NOT impact the activation status:

    • HDD/SSD
    • Video card
    • Adding extra memory
    Let us follow the steps suggested by Andre Da Costa (replied
    on July 26, 2015) in the following thread:
