    Windows activation on a new hardware


    Hello, I recently changed my motherboard and I have forgotten to add my account on my previous motherboard which I do not have access to anymore so I can't use the option 'I recently hanged hardware on this device'. I had a similar problem before when I also changed my motherboards once in the past and I got help through live chat.

    Is there no more live chat service? cause when I used 'Get help, virtual agent', it tells me to contact them through call or ask in the community. I would call them but it's expensive for me to call since its an international line

    :)

    Activation after new hardware upgrades?


    Right - my point was to see what would happen if I tried the OS from one system on a totally different motherboard, and it went better than I expected, other than the activation - which I expected. I did chat with a Microsoft rep today online and he confirmed that after the hardware upgrade on a free Win10 upgrade that they (Mircosoft) will have to remote access my system to verify the proper key, etc. before they can reactivate it.
