    ACTIVATION AFTER I CHANGED MOTHERBOARD AND CPU

    It depends on how Windows 10 was originally configured on your computer.

    If its a full retail store bought license online or offline, it is transferable to a new computer or motherboard.

    If its the free upgrade from a retail store bought Windows 7 or Windows 8 license, it is transferable to a new computer or motherboard.

    If its the free upgrade from a OEM preinstalled Windows 7 or Windows 8 license, it is NOT transferable to a new computer or motherboard.

    Learn more about transferring your license:


    If its a retail license, learn how to reactivate:

    New Motherboard, Windows 10 activation

    An OEM version of Windows 10 is not transferrable to a new device. Changing the motherboard is a new device and so requires a new licence key.

    If you are using a boxed retail product then try the Activation Troubleshooter.
