I built a new desktop pc for my wife for Christmas. Got Windows 10 fully loaded and updated and license Authorized. The motherboard died. I got it replaced through Amazon, same make and model of board. I rebuilt and moved my existing drives back in place started the machine up and all appeared okay till I noticed the Windows 10 license was not authorized. It wants me to replace the license... I guess I need help to deal with this issue. I don't use Microsoft Account for log in to our machines as well...
