  1. Windows edition doesn't match while activating after motherboard change??


    I recently got the motherboard change but did a factory reset so now the windows is not activating again. I tried troubleshoot and selected the option " i recently got a hardware change" but after that a window pop ups that the window editions doesn't match with the previous device so it is not activating.

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

  3. Can't activate Windows since I changed the motherboard

    It saids : "Edition doesn't match Windows edition on the devices listed below don’t match the Windows edition installed on the device you’re using right now."

    I have changed the mainboard before but this time it was from ASUS to MSI mainboard, somehow it could not activate in this mainboard. What should I do ?

    Windows edition doesn't match while activating after motherboard change??

    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.
