Windows 10: reactivating windows after changing the pc's CPU

I am having difficulty in reactivating windows after changing the pc's CPU

Prior to the change, I linked my digital licence to my MS Account

In my MSA I can see both versions of my PC listed, once with the old CPU and once with the new CPU


If I go to activation - troubleshoot- I changed hardware on this device recently, I can only select the old PC on which to activate windows


Any help or ideas appreciated

:)

 

My computer is not present when reactivating Windows after changing the CPU

Hi

I changed my HW today (from an i5-4690k to a Ryzen 7 2700) but I cannot reactivate my Windows copy. My PC is not present on the list while reactivating and my Microsoft account is connected. Also, this is the first time I change the CPU. What should I do?
