Active Windows 10 home

Question

I changed the m.2 on my PC and when I start it asks me to activate Windows again, but I already had it before.

Answer 1

Hello, When you change the hardware components on your PC, it can trigger the Windows activation process. This is because Windows uses a unique hardware identifier to verify that it is running on the same device it was originally activated on. To reactivate Windows, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Activation.
2. Click on "Troubleshoot" and follow the prompts to reactivate Windows.
3. If you have the product key, you can enter it to activate Windows manually. Best Regards, Hania Lian
