    Hello.

  3. Can't Activate Windows 10 Home Edition After A Motherboard Replacement

    I recently built a PC about two weeks ago, bought a digital license in the Windows Store, and then decided to switch to a different motherboard last week. I cannot get Windows 10 to re-activate. I'm signed in with the same Microsoft account I purchased the
    license with, and I have followed the "Activation Troubleshooting" steps. Once I select my computer, I get the following message:

    Unable to activate Windows

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

    It also tells me I can go buy it. I have proof of purchases for my old motherboard, the one I replaced it with, and my digital license I bought in the Windows store. Don't understand why I can't reactivate.

    Windows 10 Digital Access Not Activating After Replacing Motherboard

    I have a copy of Windows 10 Home, that I got for free via the upgrade program when Windows 10 came out. I kept my digital entitlement key info written down just in case I ever needed it.

    I've recently had to replace both my motherboard and my GPU on my computer (but not my hard drives) and I guess that is enough of a significant change that windows is now asking me to reactivate.

    The xxxx'd out product key seems to match the digital key that I kept written down (the last 5 alphanumerics are the same), but when I try and put it into the troubleshooter and to reactivate, it just tells me "Windows can't activate at this time, try activating
    again later. Error code: 0x8007251E".

    When I try and choose "troubleshoot" to fix the problem, it keeps telling me that it can't find any devices linked to my account, but when I open up my microsoft account it shows me both my old motherboard and the name of my PC and my new motherboard and
    name of my PC?

    How do I get windows to re-accept my digital entitlement key? What's the point of giving this free copy of windows 10 if I'm not going to be able to have it accepted if I change my motherboard? Windows 10 Digital Activation After Motherboard Replacement :(
