    Reactivation after change of hard disk


    Hello Everyone!


    I have a question. I didn't use my laptop for almost 2 years and seems like the hard disk can't be use anymore. I change the hard disk and try to reactivate Windows 10 on the same device. Windows reported that there is no product key was found on my device. Error code : 0xC004F213. After trying to do troubleshoot, the Windows asked me to go to the store and purchase genuine Windows. After trying few times, I can't retrieve my product key. Anyone know how to solve my problem? Your help will be greatly appreciate.

    :)

    can i transfer hard disk Windows 10 to another pc

    Hello Jason,

    Hard disk can be transferred on another machine depending on the license that your device has. For us to help you with your concern, kindly answer the following questions:

    • We'd like to know if your device came with a Windows 10 pre-installed Operating System?
    • Is your hard disk will be considered as a secondary storage on the other machine?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you check this article for more information regarding your query:

  3. External Hard disk contents are not visible.

    Hi Pranoti,

    For us to narrow down your concern with your external hard disk, we would like to know the following:

    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?
    • To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    • Do you hear any clicking sound when connecting your hard disk?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you update all your device driver.

    We look forward to your response.
