    My Windows 10 installation deactivated after I installed a new motherboard.


    As the title says I installed a new motherboard since my old one had died. Since then, windows has deactivated.

    My computer was on windows 7 before moving to Windows 10 during the free Windows 10 event. I have tried updating the product key as shown on the side of my case, but it said the product key didn't work. (error code 0xc004f050)

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
