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

2023-11-08T03:13:34+00:00 Well I can see my PC in tthe reactivation list, but I still get the below, regardless of how often I try.
Unable to activate Windows
We can’t reactivate Windows on this device. Try again later.
This is what i got from GIGABYTE, So we should ask the Dealer or service centre only
