  1. Cannot reactivate windows after SSD dies


    I purchased the Windows 10/11 digital license years ago and have been using it on my computer until this morning.While I was working, the computer suddenly crashed with BSOD code: "dpc_watchdog_violation", turns out the SSD installing Windows was dead.So I purchased a new SSD and installed Windows 11 but couldn't activate the window.Key Info:- The license is digital license, has an order history in this account dated years ago. - It was digitally activated at the time after bought it online. - Not sure If I linked it with my account according to Activate Windows - Microsoft Support- Used it

    :)

  2. Windows 10 - SSD died - No idea what to do

    Download Windows 10 then perform a fresh install on a new SSD or hard disk.

    Step 1: How
    to download official Windows 10 ISO files


    Step 2:


    When you upgraded from a previous version of Windows or receive a new computer preinstalled with Windows 10, what happened is the hardware (your PC) will get a digital entitlement, where a unique signature of the computer will be stored on Microsoft
    Activation Servers. The Windows 7 or Windows 8 genuine license you were previously running will be exchanged for a diagnostics key.

    Anytime you need to reinstall Windows 10 on that machine, just proceed to reinstall Windows 10. It will automatically reactivate.
    You will prompted to enter a product key a couple times through the installation, click I don't have a key and Do this later.

    There is no need to know or get a new key, but if you have issues with Digital Licensing or the Activation Troubleshooter, you can utilize an existing Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key
    you already ownto reactivate if necessary. or use the reset function in Windows 10.
