Windows 10: Windows 10 pro reactivation after hardware change

Hello! I have Windows 10 pro digital license, linked to my old motherboard and Microsoft Account. It was actually bought as Windows 8, many years ago, and upgraded to Windows 10 later. I bought new PC , try troubleshoot to reactivate but nothing. I got error code : 0xC004F213 . Moreover, it says that "We can’t find any devices linked to your Microsoft account that can be used for reactivating the device you’re using right now". It is very weird because it was linked. IMy old PC is broken and not accessible. Can you help,please ?

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."
