    URGENT: Changed hardware, windows won't activate and nobody answering phone


    Hi there,I am incredibly frustrated, The current customer service number doesn't go through to a person, and the 'get help' says there is an error connecting me whenever I request a call back, so there is absolutely no support.I've just changed my hardware motherboard, CPU and RAM and now I have ACTIVATE WINDOWS on my screen all the time. I checked before and it seemed I have a digital licence from when I was upgraded to windows 10, and I checked online that it should be linked by my microsoft account. However, it somehow has not been and despite using windows for several years on this

    :)

    windows activation—hardware changed siginficantly

    From time to time on my thoroughbred PC, I get a Windows activation message that says my hardware changed siginificantly and I have to re-activate Windows. My hardware hasn't changed any more than a network card (went from a wireless g card to onboard lan to a wired network card), and the install is legit. Why is it doing this, and how can I stop it?

    Windows 10 Activation after hardware change

    • "You upgraded to Windows 10 using the free upgrade offer, but Windows 10 isn't activated after a reinstall. Your copy of Windows 10 should automatically be activated so long as you didn't make any significant hardware changes to your device (such as replacing
      the hard drive or motherboard)."

    I just recently upgraded my motherboard, graphics card, and processor. Now my Windows 10 isnt activated anymore, and when i go through the steps to troubleshoot, it says the windows activation just says.



    Unable to activate Windows

    We can’t reactivate Windows on this device. Try again later.

    anyone have an answer to this please...
