1. Check Activation Status
• Go to Settings → System → Activation.
• If Windows isn’t activated, you’ll see a message like “Windows is not activated”.
2. Use the Activation Troubleshooter
• In the Activation settings, click Troubleshoot.
• Select “I changed hardware on this device recently”.
• Sign in with your Microsoft account that was linked to your Windows license.
• Choose your current device from the list and confirm.
3. Digital License vs. Product Key
• Digital License: If your Windows was linked to your Microsoft account, reactivation should work automatically.
• Product Key: If you installed Windows with a product key, you may need to re-enter it.
• Go to Settings → System → Activation → Change product key and enter the 25-character code.
4. If Reactivation Fails
• Make sure your Microsoft account is linked to your Windows license.
• If you don’t see your device in the troubleshooter, you may need to contact Microsoft Support.
• For OEM licenses (pre-installed Windows), activation may fail after a motherboard replacement, since the license is tied to the original hardware.
