  1. Windows 10 pro activation after mobo+CPU change - I have my Win 7 pro key


    After 30 minutes on the phone with MS support, calling from abroad, costing me € 25 .. the call was suddenly terminated.

    The person on the other side told me my key was valid, but I still can not get my Win 10 pro activated.


    I have my original Windows 7 pro key here, and changed mobo + cpu.


    What can I do ..

    :)

    Windows 8.1 pro + WMC key activation

    This worked for me last time with a Win 8 key.

    Install Windows 8.1 and enter KMS key during setup. Once in windows change product key to my Windows 8 key. Go to add features and enter my WMC add-on key. Drink a beer to a job well done.

    Should I buy Windows 10 Home or Pro?

    I bought a win 10 pro oem key for £25, changed my motherboard and cpu, and reinstalled windows, and it activated automatically. So I would say why not buy pro?

    From here-
    Buy Windows 10 Professional genuine license keys with Lifetime Validity

    Was near enough instant delivery of key by email, and it activated on my original install, and on a clean install with changed hardware. Can't say fairer than that for £25

    Windows 10 pro activation after mobo+CPU change - I have my Win 7 pro key

    Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Pro doesn't Activate

    Yet it didn't, hence the suggestion. But again, if you have the Pro key you could use that.

    And that link bro67 posted is a clear a mud so hopefully he understands what he posted it and can apply it to your issue.

    Good luck.
