    Reactivating Windows With A New Computer


    Hi there team,


    So I got myself a new computer due to my old one dying on me.


    The old one was Windows 10 Pro and had it come with the motherboard.


    I installed Windows 10 Home on my new PC and when I used the Activation Troubleshooter after

    singing into my microsoft account, It showed my old Motherboards name and the brand Gigabyte and

    that it is using Windows 10 Pro. And gave me the "Edition Doesn't Match".


    So my question is, Is there a way I can go from Windows 10 Home to Pro seamlessly and then reactivate it after that?
    It seems I just need to match the same edition of Windows to reactivate?

    Any help would be awesome!


    Cheers!

    :)

    Windows reactivation after computer change

    Hi all!
    I searched trough existing threads for help but without success, so I'm opening new one.

    I have a Win 10 digital license that I picked up a few years ago when MS gave a free upgrade from 7 to 10.
    This license is properly linked to my Microsoft account on my old PC.

    Now, I bought a new computer, so I was thinking of reactivating windows on a new machine, but it turns out it's not as simple as the instructions says:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-ph/...ardware-change

    I signed in on new PC with my active account but when I try to activate windows on new machine trough Troubleshoot it is not displaying new PC in the list of computers associated with the MS account.

    Does anyone know if Win 10 can be reactivated after a computer change?

    According to Microsoft I need to buy new licence, but also I found info that it can be activated but you need to add a new account (option that I don't have since I'm already signed in)..

    Any help is highly appreciated.
