  2. Can't reactivate windows after motherboard and processor change.

    Recently purchased a new motherboard and cpu for my system.

    After change motherboard and booting windows I as expected get error code: 0xC004F211 (Windows detected hardware change).

    When trying to troubleshoot and selecting "I recently changed hardware on this device" I'm left with a message that I couldn't connect to Microsoft servers for activation. It's been like this for several days now and I have a hard time thinking their servers
    never are available.

    To answer some questions before you ask them:

    • Windows licence came from a free windows 8 upgrade which later became a free windows 10 upgrade.
    • I have not deactivated any kind of services and I have the latest version of windows available. (I even put my original motherboard and processor in to reinstall a clean version of windows, activated it on that system and then switched hardware again).
    • I have changed motherboard once before a couple (2 - 3?) years ago since I somehow managed to break only a motherboard.

    Since there is no online messaging to an agent for me to use and I don't have the balls to actually call an agent I'm asking you guys for help.

    ps: please help, I hate the light theme that I cannot change Windows activation after changing my motherboard and processor :(

    Can't activate windows 10 after changing motherboard

    Hello,

    I can't activate my windows 10 license after changing my motherboard.

    The license I have is a Windows 7 Pro license, that got changed into a Windows 10 license, when the upgrade was free.

    Steps I took previous to the motherboard change:

    - I linked my Microsoft account with my device, so that my license is registered under my account (it showed up with my mail in the accounts section)

    Now, with the new motherboard built in, I can't activate Windows 10 anymore.

    I tried the support steps listed by the Microsoft helper (Activation -> Click Troubleshoot), but that did not work.

    In the Activitation settings I get the error code: 0xC004F213

    Does anybody know a solution for this, as I haven't found one so far.
