Windows 10: Windows 10 Hardware change. Unable to reactivate windows.

Hello,


I Just upgraded my computer from a Intel I7 8700k to a Amd Ryzen 9 3900X, I am unable to reactivate my windows, even via the troubleshooter.


I click troubleshoot -> Click "I changed hardware on this device recently" -> The "Reactivate Windows 10" page shows up with my device listed. -> I click the check box and hit activate. -> I get a message saying " Unable to activate Windows. "We can't reactivate Windows on this device. Try again later."


I switched from a Asus Prime Z390-A motherboard to a Asus X570-E motherboard also.


Any help would be appreciated.


-Frank.

Unable to reactivate Windows 10 after hardware change

Hi there,

I recently upgraded system hardware including Motherboard and am unable to reactivate Windows 10 via the activation troubleshooter:

I have tried removing my old PC configuration from the list of devices in my windows account but still no luck!

• My windows account was linked to my PC prior to the change
• Login in / out of my windows account has no effect
• My version of windows was a free upgrade program from Windows 7, would this be an issue?

Any help and ideas would be appreciated!

Many thanks,
