Windows 10: Windows does not allow me to reactivate it after a hardware change.

Hi all, I recently changed by CPU and Motherboard. Before changing, I prepared for the hardware change by following the official Microsoft instructions as seen here.

Once I have the new components in. Whenever I try to run the Activation Troubleshooter as the instructions say, this appears.

I have tried to keep reactivating and it doesn't work. The Windows 10 assistant says to use "slui 04" but whenever I click on it, it does nothing. I am at a loss now.

windows 10 reactivation after hardware change

I just changed motherboards, and When I follow the the steps listed in the "reactivate windows 10 after hardware change" support page, it gives me the message "unable to activate windows" message after I sign in and identify my device,
with no error code, just a subheader that says "can't activate windows 10 on this device, try again later."

 

Windows 10 won't reactivate after a hardware change

I changed a lot of the hardware on my device recently, however I followed the steps on the Microsoft support page to get my computer ready for the hardware change so that I could reactivate Windows 10 after I changed the hardware. However, now it won't reactivate,
and has the error code 0xC004F025, and when I try to troubleshoot it says "We can't reactivate Windows on this device. Try again later."

My Windows 10 was a free upgrade from Windows 7.
