To reactivate your Windows 10 installation after changing your hardware, you can follow these steps:
- Use Your Product Key: Since you have a valid product key, you can attempt to activate your Windows 10 by going to Settings > Update & Security > Activation. Here, you can enter your product key and see if it activates.
- Troubleshoot Activation: If entering the product key does not work, you can use the Activation Troubleshooter. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Activation, and if you see a message that your Windows is not activated, there should be an option to troubleshoot. This tool can help resolve common activation issues.
- Contact Microsoft Support: If the above steps do not work, you may need to contact Microsoft Support for assistance. They can help you with reactivating your Windows, especially since you've changed hardware.
Keep in mind that if you upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 during the free upgrade period, your digital license is tied to your Microsoft account. Make sure you are logged into the same account you used during the upgrade.
