  1. I have installed a new motherboard, and canť now reactivate windows 11


    I have curently installed my C: M.2 SSD disk with windows on it on to a new motherboard, however after about 4 or 5 days the system prompted me to reactivate the windows licence. I have upgraded from Windows 10 Pro, which I have legally baught from official sources, and still have the digital product key.That alone wouldn't be a problem, but after I have had copied the product key it told me, that it isn't valid or something like that. I have seen on other post here on the support web, that I should go to troubleshooting option and select the "change in hardware" option, however I haven't fo

  2. Reactivating Win 11 after installing new motherboard

    I guess my account didn't update to Windows 11 and I cannot rollback to Windows 10. Now I cannot activate Windows after installing a new motherboard and the troubleshooter is no help at all...keeps saying the servers are down, for over 12 hours now. What are my options for reactivating Windows at this point?

    I **think** that if you are replacing a broken motherboard with an identical replacement then you have a good chance of successfully re-activating your current Win10 installation

    Once you have installed your new identical motherboard to replace the broken one I recommend you do the following:
    • Speak to a Microsoft Activation Customer Service Representative on the phone.
    • You will be able to get the phone number via the activation screen in "Settings"
    • Clearly state that the motherboard used to initially activate Windows 10 had failed and needed to replaced
    • Clearly state that this is a repair and not an upgrade
    • Clearly state that you are replacing a defective motherboard with an identical like-for-like replacement (same make and model)
    • Clearly state again that this is definitely not an upgrade of your existing hardware


    FYI, I have successfully re-activated previous versions of Windows after replacing a broken motherboard with an identical make and model. I used the method to ensure success.

    If you are not 100% clear in the way you are expressing your self then you may not be successful. ie They will not re-activate if they believe you performed a major hardware upgrade

    Good luck.
