Windows 10: W10 activation

So I found a product key in the web to used and it's working.. I just want to ask if this legal or not.

W10 activation and motherboard failure.

Hey, wasn't sure what section to put this in.

Motherboard died yesterday, managed to source a replacement but I believe I am correct in thinking that once I swap the board W10 will deactivate itself and demand I buy a new copy?

If so, would I be able to get around this by booting the system with a spare HDD, installing W7/8, upgrading to W10, then connecting the original drive (so the MB has been used/activated with W10)?

Thanks.

Cannot activate w10 after reinstalling W10 error 0xC004F034

I had to reset w10 when I was trying to solve the AMD Window driver problem caused by the faulty w10 1703 upgrade problem.

Now my laptop insists that I activate w10.

• It says I have w10 home installed.
• It says "We can't activate windows on this device right now.....Error code 0xC004F034
• Troubleshooter says it found a digital licence for this devise running w10 home (because this PC had a free update from w8) . To activate using this licence you need to install w10 home

Except w10 home is already installed!!!!!

I have tried "I Changed this device hardware recently". It asks me to log in but then says "Opps something went wrong... we can't add your Microsoft account to this device right now" even though I am logged in with that username.

So am stuck!

Basically, since that irritating w10 upgrade problem with 1703 that messed up attached screens on AMD devices, I have not been able to use this laptop.

Please help.
