    Reactivation of Windows


    I've my computer ran down a total collapse and therefore would need to change the motherboard.
    Motherboard manufactured 2012, Z77, CPU was an ivybridge, using DDR3


    So practically I would have to change everything.
    And I moved to AMD using Ryzen and X570 board now.


    Problem here is this.
    I updated to windows 10 pro through windows 8 pro.
    And my windows 8 pro was purchased through the very extreme upgrading discount back when launch at 2012.

    So, yes, I'd say that I've lost my product key already.

    Is there anyway that I can reactivate my windows?

    :)

    Unlocked Realtek HD Audio Drivers Windows 7 & 8 (With Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive)

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    Reactivation of Windows

    Does Windows 7 require reactivation if...

    He is using AMD already. He wants downgrading to AM3. Don't know why??

    If you change HDD + RAM simultaneously, Windows 7 needs to be reactivated. Only HDD cloning shouldn't require reactivation. As you are changing mobo + HDD (prehaps RAM upgrade too), you will surely require reactivation. If you have genuine license, you should reinstall OS (you might use Windows Easy Transfer). If you don't want to reinstall, you need to uninstall HDD, interfaces/system devices, and numerous other drivers (USB, HID, Portable devices, etc.), else your OS will be unstable.
    I will highly recommend to reinstall Windows 7 and enjoy your migration.

    A simple trick might be like this to avoid reactivation:
    1. Clone your HDD first and boot into Windows
    2. Use it for at least one week
    3. Replace mobo only without any other hardware change/upgrade and boot
    4. Use it for at least one week
    5. Do any other upgrade (RAM, Graphic card etc.)

    Don't do two simultaneous downgrades/upgrades to avoid reactivation.
