  1. Issue trying to reactivate windows after upgrading cpu and motherboard


    So recently upgraded cpu and motherboard now when I try to reactivate windows I initially get 0xC004F211 error when I try the troubleshoot icon I get the green box that has 'I changed hardware on this device recently', I log into my account and it takes me to a screen where it says Reactivate windows 10 select this device from below. My device's name is listed, so I select it via This is the device I am using now and then select activate. Goes to a screen Reactivating windows, real quick then states Unable to activate windows on this device try again later. Been doing this for hours now. a little help would be appreciated.

    :)

    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,

    Windows 10 reactivate after motherboard and CPU change

    I changed the motherboard and CPU on my computer and the digital license reactivation isn't working. I follow all the steps, (settings - update & security - Activation - Troubleshoot - I changed hardware on this device recently) the computer I am trying
    to activate windows 10 on does not show up as one that I can choose. BUT when I go into my Microsoft account it is there under devices. Why is it not showing up as one I can choose to activate windows 10 on????
