Windows 10: Reactivation after motherboard swap

I switched out my motherboard last night and now Windows is telling me it can't activate. How do I use the windows key I just purchased a couploe months ago?

Reactivation after motherboard swap


My motherboard died, I'm going to get a new one that's going to be a different brand so I imagine Win 10 will notice. I'm aware that the proper way to reactivate after a hardware change is to link your license to an MS account. The thing is, I never linked the license to an MS account before the motherboard died. My Win 10 install is an upgrade from non-OEM Windows 7 Ultimate DVD. Will I be able to re-activate my install after I get a new motherboard without having to get a hold of MS support?

 

Reactivate windows 10 after motherboard changed.

I swapped my HP dead motherboard with a AMD 2006 motherboard and I need my windows 10 reactivate. the AMD 2006 motherboard has windows vista but I need windows 10 or 7.

 

Reactivating Windows After Swapping Motherboard

I need to swap motherboards, and I was wondering how I go about transferring my current windows 10 license to my new computer - I don't have access to the license key, however the desktop is registered to my Microsoft account. I don't currently have access
to the desktop, however, because the current motherboard is damage - it's been years since I installed windows on this computer, so I'm not sure if I'm running it on a digital license or an activatable key. Is there a way to tell what version my desktop is
using via my Microsoft account? I don't want to remove the desktop from my account, add the new version with the new motherboard, and end up losing my version of Windows. Any insight would be appreciated!
