  1. Win10 Home Activation Error 0xC004F211 after Motherboard Change


    Replacing my old Intel motherboard with new MSI and AMD CPU. On this old system I confirmed that have a Digital Licence before starting motherboard/CPU replacement.


    Activation Troubleshooting Prompt from MS does not solve issue.


    The history of my licence is that it was a free upgrade from previous Win10 etc right back to original Windows 7 for which I have a Product Key and original DVD.


    When I plug my Hard Drive back into the old motherboard/CPU on the bench it confirms that the Digital Licence is valid BUT not accepted on new board.


    Tried MS tollfree number but they have not called back.


    Regards all

    :)

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

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We appreciate the efforts you have taken in trying to resolve this issue. We understand that after changing the Motherboard and CPU, you are unable to activate Windows.



    We would like to inform that whenever a major hardware change is made, which in your case are Motherboard and CPU, Windows won’t be able to find a matching license the next time you start your device.



    As you have upgraded the computer from Windows 8 to Windows 10, the license is a Digital License and is directly linked with your Microsoft account. You may want to check the article on

    Reactivating Windows 10 after a hardware change
    and see if that helps.



    You can also refer the section 0xC004F211 from the article

    If you still face issues, do not worry, you can get in touch with our Activation team and they will help you with the issue. Please refer the article
    Global Customer Service phone numbers to get the Customer
    support number as per your country.

  3. 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!

  4. Win10 Home Activation Error 0xC004F211 after Motherboard Change

    Windows 10 activation Error 0XC004f211

    Please help I am tearing my hair out.

    After replacing my motherboard, I just put the same hard drive in as it was the same type and brand of motherboard. the PC booted up OK after I changed some settings on the bios.

    My copy of windows 10 1903 was activated digitally and registered on my Microsoft account a long time ago. So I never expected to face so many problems reactivating it again.

    Following the online agent I got nowhere I have booked several calls with Microsoft in the last 2 days and so far no one called back.

    This is the error 0XC004f211 that appears when I tried to activate it.

    Any help would be very much appreciated.
