    Issues with Windows Activation After Recent Update and Hardware Changes / Lost my key


    I am experiencing an issue with my Windows activation after the latest update. I previously had Windows installed by a service in Poland, but since then, I moved to the United States. I also recently changed the cooling device in my computer. After the update, I lost my Windows activation, and it is now prompting me for a product key, which I do not have.My Windows was activated with a digital license tied to my hardware, but I am unsure how to proceed without the product key. Could you please assist me in restoring my Windows activation under these circumstances?

    :)
