Windows 10: Windows reactivation after computer change.

My 15 year old AMD FX8370 system finally started failing. Network port then hard drive issues. Sometimes fails to boot.Timing is everything...Of course this happens when I finish putting together a new modern system.I have a valid digital license for Windows 10 Pro linked to my account on Microsoft. It's from my free Windows 10 Pro upgrade from my purchased Windows 7 Ultimate OEM version.When I access Activation->I've updated hardware on the new computer, it only shows me my old system, but it's not the computer I'm on. They are named different, lets say X old and Y new.It only shows "X

Hi Florea,

Windows reactivation after computer change

Hi all!
I searched trough existing threads for help but without success, so I'm opening new one.

I have a Win 10 digital license that I picked up a few years ago when MS gave a free upgrade from 7 to 10.
This license is properly linked to my Microsoft account on my old PC.

Now, I bought a new computer, so I was thinking of reactivating windows on a new machine, but it turns out it's not as simple as the instructions says:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-ph/...ardware-change

I signed in on new PC with my active account but when I try to activate windows on new machine trough Troubleshoot it is not displaying new PC in the list of computers associated with the MS account.

Does anyone know if Win 10 can be reactivated after a computer change?

According to Microsoft I need to buy new licence, but also I found info that it can be activated but you need to add a new account (option that I don't have since I'm already signed in)..

Any help is highly appreciated.

 

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."
