Can't re-activate my version of windows after significant hardware change!

[Draconid]

Hello, I recently upgraded my computer by installing in a new MOBO, RAM, and CPU. Before this upgrade, I had made sure to connect my Windows email to my version of Windows 10. However, after the upgrade, I went and followed some instructions which led me to the option that allows me to tell windows that I've changed some hardware, however after trying to re-activate windows I'm met with a screen that reports that Windows is unable to re-activate. What am I supposed to do? Do I have to buy a new windows key?? 

 

Some screenshots that show the screens I'm met with...

call them and say you changed your motherboard. then they will give you the activate over telephone thing

Is it a regular OEM license of Windows 10, or a full retail license? If it's a the standard OEM, it gets locked to the motherboard. Calling Microsoft support should solve this and lock it to the new motherboard.

If you bought an OEM license, it ties to the motherboard you activated it on. So changing the motherboard would cause the activation servers to refuse the key by default.

 

And as others said, you can just call them and see if you can get them to activate that way.
