    Please help me reactivate Windows 10. I upgraded my motherboard, CPU, and RAM. I cannot reactivate Windows 10 Home. I have a retail Windows 8.1 Home license product key. And I received the free upgrade to Windows 10 home. I don't think I have Windows 10 Home product key. These are the error codes I get. I get error code 0xC004F211 on the Settings>Activation page.

  2. Issue trying to reactivate windows after upgrading cpu and motherboard

    So recently upgraded cpu and motherboard now when I try to reactivate windows I initially get 0xC004F211 error when I try the troubleshoot icon I get the green box that has 'I changed hardware on this device recently', I log into my account and it takes
    me to a screen where it says Reactivate windows 10 select this device from below. My device's name is listed, so I select it via This is the device I am using now and then select activate. Goes to a screen Reactivating windows, real quick then states Unable
    to activate windows on this device try again later. Been doing this for hours now. a little help would be appreciated.

    Can't activate windows 10 after a CPU/motherboard upgrade Error Code 0xc004f211 (I am NOT buying another Windows key as a solution)

    As the title says I upgrade my CPU and Motherboard because the mobo died and now it says that windows can't activate and I get the error code 0xc004f211. I am simply not purchasing a second windows activation key as a solution.

    Error: 0xC004F211 while activating Windows after changing Motherboard and CPU

    Yesterday I switched from Intel to AMD. Since then I have been trying to get Windows to activate on the new platform but without success. I read all the links and suggestions people had, but nothing helped. The error code I was
    getting was 0xC004F211. I unregistered the key from the SSD in hope getting it to activate that way.

    After going through the Troubleshooter, selecting "I changed hardware on this device recently" and selecting the current PC I get the following message
    "Unable to activate Windows We can’t reactivate Windows on this device. Try again later."

    I reinstalled the whole system.

    Once before I changed my PC completely and reactivated the licence without any problems using my
    Hotmail account. What can I do now? The key I am trying to use was for Windows 8 (since I upgraded to 10).

    One thing I noted is that when I try to enter my key, the message below states that the last product key I entered can't be used for this Windows copy. The ID that is inside the brackets doesn't match the one I had before.

    Any help is appreciated!
