Hello!
I have a Windows 10 Pro for OEM software DVD. I recently upgraded my system (mobo, processor, RAM etc). Since the new system does not have a DVD, I downloaded and created a bootable USB media and installed Windows from it.
Now I am unable to activate as I am getting all sorts of errors, mainly claiming that I do not have a digital license or product key.
Screenshots are attached.
Please help!

If you used that licence on the old motherboard, then that is locked to the old motherboard, and OEM licence does not have transfer rights to a new motherboard, it is only a full retail licence that has transfer rights to another motherboard or PC.
