Activating windows 10 after major hardware change help
After my motherboard died I have installed new Skylake hardware so obviously my windows 10 installation wants to re activate. In my previous experiences of this I have phoned microsoft to explain my predicament and they supplied me with a new activation code. Now after talking with support this is no longer possible and I have to go back to 8 or 7 and re upgrade. Unfortunately I dont see an option to rollback to 8.1. Do I have to start again from a fresh install of 7 and then upgrade back to 10?
