Windows 10: Windows 10 Pro deactivated - started with misidentified hardware change? Completely stuck...

Windows has deactivated my Windows software, mistakenly I believe - it looks like Microsoft/Windows Updater thinks I made a hardware change recently. Here's why I think that: when I request an update in Settings, Updater says its updating my computer with an AMD64 reference. But my laptop -- computer in question -- is equipped with an Intel CPU. I have an AMD64-equipped desktop, but I'm not trying to update that. Here's what I think happened: I got a USB plug-in for my Samsung Galalxy Note 4 cell phone, and plugged it into the laptop -- I was going to be somewhere where there wasn't an Internet connection for my laptop, so I wanted to be able to use MS Office apps on my laptop, then transfer them via the USB connection to my cell phone from whence I could blast them off into the Internet. Anyway, no sooner had I plugged in that USB device and up pops the message that my Windows system has been deactivated and needs activating. No amount of frettig with the Activation troubleshooter has resoved this problem. Now when I ran my Dell diagnostics software -- I'm using a Dell Latitude E6420 laptop -- it shows that I've made a recent hardware change, specifically having to do with the hard drive,. I've done no such thing of course. Well, I ramble. What I would really like is a way to fix this problem. I am running Windows 10 Pro version 1809, and I'm on the Insider program if that's of any interest. I can't get beyond where I'm at now, and Microsoft Support tells me that my version of Windows can't be activated or reactivated by phone. Would I ever appreciate some help!

• Did you replace your hard disk along with your motherboard and CPU?
• What is the edition of Windows activated on your computer? To know, press Windows + S. Type About, and click it.

Activating Windows 10 Pro After a Hardware Upgrade!

I followed all the steps to linking my Windows 10 Pro to my Microsoft account so that I could upgrade my hardware, reinstall Windows 10 Pro, and activate it, but it's not working. I'm signed into my Microsoft account. I tried the activation troubleshooter,
selecing that I recently changed hardware, etc. Nothing is working. I can see my old computer under my Microsoft account, as well as my new one (with better hardware). I changed the motherboard, ram, and CPU. Any suggestions would be wonderful.
