Hey folks,
So recently i upgraded my gaming machine
-New Motherboard
-More Storage
-New case
-New PSU

And after everything was installed and running smoothly Windows decided to deactivate itself and my product key now no longer works at all and tips on how to fix it?

When you try and activate your current key and it fails, there should see "get help with activation errors" and in there you should have an option for changed hardware.

 

Which OS and what version (Home, Pro or OEM)?

Desktop: AMD 9800x3d / Asus ROG Crosshair 870e Extreme / Asus ROG Astral 5090 OC / 32GB Corsair Titanium / 4TB & 2TB WD SN850x / Win 11 Pro

Plex/AI:  Intel Ultra 9 285k / Asus Tuf Gaming B860m-Plus / 2 x RTX 4000 ADA / 64GB Kingston Fury / 2 x 4TB Samsung 990 Pro / Win 11 Pro 

NAS: Synology DS1821+ (8 x 20TB Seagate x24 ) / Synology RS1221+ (8 x 24TB Seagate x24) / Synology DS923+ (4 x 14TB Seagate)
