My PC never updated to build 1607 - Had a valid digital license.
I thought it may have been because the hardware was marginal. I only had 2GB of RAM,
AMD X2 4200 dual core 2.2GHz. Well that's moot now, after about 10 years this motherboard finally died.
Picked up a used motherboard/CPU/RAM from Ebay. Now have AMD FX-4300 and 4GB of DDR3 RAM.
Started Windows 10, it installed the new drivers everything is up and running, but I am no longer activated.
I found some info on the 'net that says you can tie in your MS ID to your digital license and re-activate.
Problem is, I'm still on build 1511 and that procedure is only good with build 1607 and newer.
Is this a catch 22, or is there a path ahead that will allow me to install the anniversary build and
re-activate?
Thanks for any info.
