  1. Windows 10 Troubleshooter not reactivating my windows license after a hardware change.


    I recently replaced my motherboard, ram, and CPU in my PC and I've looked everywhere. Everyone is saying to connect my Microsoft account (I've already done that) and to use the troubleshooter to reactivate my license. The problem is that when I tell the troubleshooter that I made a hardware change and select my device, I gives me an error saying "We can’t reactivate Windows on this device. Try again later." I get no error code or anything that tells me what is wrong or why it can't be activated. This is very frustrating seeing the activation watermark on my screen all the time. If someone from Microsoft can help me with reactivating my license it would be much appreciated. I've looked all over the internet and nothing seems to help or give an answer to my problem.

    :)

    Uninstall (delete, remove) the Windows 10 digital license from old hardware, after reactivating it on new (similar) hardware, after hardware change

    Hi,

    I recently was able to reactivate my Windows 10 digital license on new (only on similar, same type laptop to laptop) hardware, by linking my Microsoft account. I followed the steps mentoned in

    Reactivating Windows 10 after a hardware change
    .

    I find that the old hardware, still has an activated digital license of Windows.

    I need to uninstall the digital license from the old hardware, in such a way that it will not activate, on its own, and will not invalidate the digital license on my new hardware, at all.

    Please advice me, as I would like to transfer my digital license to my new hardware, completely, and permanently. I require my old hardware to not be having the digital license, at all, and the digital license to be completely deleted from it.
