Activation after motherboard change denied
I recently made a major upgrade to my pc which involved motherboard,cpu,ram, ssd.
The license was windows pro retail, purchased from newegg.
The message said I did not have a valid digital license or product key.
It said the last product key(id:0330-80114-23156-AA5554) you entered can't be used on this copy of windows.
(0x803FA067)
I have successfully used this key on at least two previous versions of my pc.
It identified the product id as 00330-80114-23156-AA608
And the product key as XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-6XXTT
The key is correct as documented on my newegg receipt.
Looking now at the receipt, I see that I ordered windows 10 PRO OEM version.
That has not been an issue in the past.
winver shows version 1909 build 18363.1379
Am I stuck and have to buy a new copy of windows 10 PRO?
Must it be OEM or retail?
I really do not want to do a clean new install and have to reinstall all of my apps and settigns.
