    Windows 10 not activating after motherboard replacement.

    Hello.

    My old motherboard failed on me and after replacing it windows 10 will not activate. I have a digital windows 10 license for this machine. Is there anything I can do?

    Replaced the motherboard, unable to activate Windows

    I had to replace the motherboard and the processor on my PC. It was
    Windows 10 Home 64 bit with a legitimate box license.

    This license is transferable but I cannot activate my machine.
