Could be a used key.

Hi, I have just created my first desktop and when I went to activate windows I got an error saying that my hardware was changed. It gave me the error code: 0xC004F211 and said it was unable to activate windows 10. When I clicked the troubleshoot button it failed to find anything. I have not changed any parts on the computer since I turned it on. The closest thing to that was going to Disk Management to find my two other drives and register them (I also changed their drive letters and names). Please help, thank you very much.
