Recently i changed my motherboard to GIGABYTE, the problem is it has the serial number " Default string" So I can't able to reactivate my windows using the digitally linked key. I asked the Gigabyte also but they are saying its normal. I googled it a lot of people said we can see the device if it has the proper Serial number, without that the windows won't detect the motherboard to activate it
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
That will be a problem since if your device does not show a serial number the activation troubleshooter will not work and the contact form is the only way for general users.
Try out the numbers listed here : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/globa...But if this fails your only remaining option is though social media.
yeah will try, Lets Hope they will response
Please let me know how you get on, I have exact same issue after updating my Gigabyte Bios

I think as of now we have only option is contacting the Microsoft, because there is no valuable response from GIGABYTE
