Windows 10: Windows 10 Activation after Motherboard switch

I recently had to swap out my motherboard after the last one giving out. My windows is now inactivated and I am unable to activate again. I am able to run slmgr /ipk with my key and get a successful activation. When I try to run slmgr /ato I receive a script host error 0xC004C060 about windows on a non-core edition. I have tried to contact Microsoft multiple times through the phone and get "transferred" to a line that leaves me on hold for 2+ hours with no response.

Windows 10 Activation after a motherboard switch.

Hey everyone, before I switched my motherboard I got the free windows 10 upgrade from windows 7. After I switched it I now have a grey letter in the bottom right stating "Activate Windows go to setting to activate windows." Which I have tried doing so
and I've used the option of changing my hardware. This account was active on the PC prior to the CPU switch so It should have windows 10 attached to it. Even when I look at my account setting on the Microsoft site is states I have windows 10 home. I no longer
have my old CPU so I do not have my past windows 7 key. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Switched Motherboards and now Windows 10 not activated

How do I reactivate Windows 10 after switching motherboards? The only option it's giving me is to put in an email address associated with the activation but I never associated an email address with my activation, I always logged in locally.

 

Windows saying not activated after motherboard upgrade

Hi,

I recently upgraded some PC parts (new motherboard, RAM, processor, video card) and ever since then I have a watermark in the bottom right of my display reading "Activate Windows - Go to Settings to activate Windows."

I took advantage of the free upgrade to Windows 10 back when they were allowing Windows 8 users to upgrade to Windows 10. I don't remember receiving an activation key during this upgrade.

I've read online that installing a new motherboard can occasionally cause issues with OS activation. How can I reactivate my Windows without having to purchase Windows 10.

Some things to note:

• This watermark was not there prior to installing the new motherboard
• As some places (and a Microsoft Tech Support member) suggested, typing the query "wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey" into CMD just returns with "OA3xOriginalProductKey". The Microsoft Support member seemed confused by this and said there was nothing further she could do.

Thanks!
