Windows 10: Windows Can't Re-Activate (Microsoft servers aren't available)

Hello- I've upgraded some of my PC components - motherboard, cpu, RAM - and I've left others in - hard drives, GPU. When I booted the computer back up, it indicated that i need to reactivate windows even though it's the SAME harddrive running the same copy of Windows for 2 years now. So i did the recommendation and went to Settings > Update & Security > Activation > Troubleshoot > I changed hardware on this device recently > Sign In


Then it just gives a loading screen with "Just a moment" and finally errors out with "Unable to activate Windows" "We can't reactivate Windows as our servers aren't available right now. Wait for a few minutes or try adding your Microsoft account again. "


So I've been trying this over multiple hours now and nothing. I would really like to get rid of the "Activate Windows" splash OVER EVERYTHING ON THE BOTTOM OF MY SCREEN.

Why are there no Windows Phones available on T-Mobile?

I suggest you ask the CEO of T-Mobile, not a support forum from Microsoft.



FYI: word is a few new Windows Phones will be hitting TMO starting next week......
