    Hello, Boris Domonji

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for your feedback. According to your description, you have changed your hardware, which caused the activation issue. You upgraded to windows 10/11 for free with a win8.1 key which is no longer available after you changed hardware. Because the key is tied to your hardware, it is only valid for your original major hardware (motherboard, etc.) and you were able to use it before because it was not a major hardware change. Now that you have installed windows 11 pro, you can simply purchase a windows 11 pro key and reactivate it.

    Buy and Download Windows 11 Pro | Microsoft

    Please let me know if you have any other questions or if I haven't explained something clearly.

    Best Regards,

    Aaron| Microsoft Community Support Specialist

    Reactivation Windows 10 Pro issue

    I have changed my hardware recently and found that I can't reactivate Windows 10 Pro. In Reactivate Windows section, I can't find my current device in the list, only my old motherboards appeared ( MSI and Gigabyte ). My old hardware are I7-4790 + MSI H81M
    Mobo + 8GB DDR3 Ram and I upgraded to I5-9400F + My new Asrock MOBO B350 or 450 something (Can't remember) + 16 GB DDR4 Ram. There is no my current MOBO in the reactivate section, only the old one appeared (MSI H81M Mobo). Pls someone help me.

    Also note that I have signed in with my microsoft account that links with Windows 10 pro licence but it only shows the old mobo in the reactivate list.
