Windows 10: Error code 0xC004F211. Changed hardware from Intel to AMD, window activation not working....

Recently, I moved my SSD containing my OS being Windows 10 to a new PC, alongside my GPU and PSU. Various specs listed below were changed besides those. When I booted up my new PC, the system states that my "Windows 10 Home" is not activated. I am signed in to my Microsoft account when I last used the old PC, and was already signed in the same account when turning on my new PC. The error code it give is mainly "Windows reported that the hardware of your device has changed. Error code: 0xC004F211"I tried resolving this the following ways: 1. Going into Settings > Update & Security &g

Windows Activation error 0xC004F211

Hello, Raphael Vilamiu

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble activating your Windows 11 after updating your BIOS. This error code 0xC004F211 means that some hardware on your computer has changed and Windows can’t verify your license. You can learn more about Windows activation errors here: Get help with Windows activation errors - Microsoft Support

There are a few possible solutions you can try:

• Run the Windows Activation troubleshooter: Using the Windows Activation troubleshooter - Microsoft Support
  

• Access the hardware change exception path: Microsoft provides an exception path for transferring a Windows License after a hardware change. You’ll need to be signed in to the same Microsoft account before making the hardware change and to use the exception path. To access this exception path, select Windows Settings > System > Activation , and then select Troubleshoot. If the troubleshooter can’t resolve the issue, you’ll see a link to reactivate after a hardware change. Select it to follow this path. For more info, see Reactivating Windows after a hardware change.
  

If none of these methods work, you may need to contact Microsoft support for further assistance: Contact Us - Microsoft Support

Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Best regards

Windows activation error code 0xC004F211 on new computer

I just purchased a new computer that is supposed to come with windows 10, but when I try to activate it, I get error 0xC004F211, that there has been a hardware change to the computer. The computer is brand new, just out of the box. Any idea why it is showing this error?
