    Windows 10 wont activate. Says its on another computer.


    Hello. i recently changed my motherboard because i got the 5800X. i am new to PC i didnt know i had to removed windows 10 off my oldest board before it can be reactivated from what i searched. sadly i cant take it off via the cmd option i found because i shipped it to amazon a week ago. i do have the key version, is there anything i can do, or am i forced to rebuy a new key?

    :)

    How long did you wait for activation?
    When I re-installed with a fresh install... it took a few hours to sync and activate.
    However, it did, finally, activate.

    Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

    Hi!

    I signed up in the windows insider program and got windows 10 free - the windows 10 insider preview updated to windows 10 pro.
    Today i got another SSD and did a raid 0 on my system forcing me to do a clean install of windows but now it wont activate anymore.
    Signing in with my microsoft account that was linked to the insider program didnt help.
    Maybe i got this problem since i quit the insider program for several days and signed up again after i found out that my win 10 wont activate anymore.
    Any ideas how to fix it?

    I couldn't get it to work at all.. I was also told from a friend that it wasn't possible, you may be out of luck.
