Moved OS/HDD to different machine - now getting activation notice
I searched. I know that with XP/7/8/8.1 (and Server OS'es) changing substantial hardware would trigger a reactivation message however this was a legit (free) upgrade from 8.1 Pro x64 to 10 Pro x64. I had a hardware issue with the computer the OS was initially installed on so I moved everything over to a different computer and now its yelling at me to re-activate. I've fixed the machine it was initially running in and tried to put it back but its still yelling at me to activate.
What is the solution? Did I void some MSFT TOC or License by moving the OS to another machine and therefore I'm SOL?
Thanks.
