I got a free upgrade to windows 10 but I changed my motherboard,

Couldn't you just move the hard disk? thats where the os is installed in so it should work.

If all else fails install gentoo.

it doesn't work because a Windows 10 license is bound to the computer it was first registered on. new mainboard equals new computer so the license is gone.

tried the assistive (I actually have a disability) technology users thing but I am already running windows 10 so it just said thank you for updating to the latest version of windows 10

get activators like Microsoft Toolkit or KMS activator stuff

>>58351059
Just look around for a Win 10 pre-activated torrent or something.

I mean, if you want to spend all night on the phone with Pajeet in MS Tech Support, feel free to. Alternatively, you can get MS Toolkit from www.thepiratebay.se

I read somewhere recently that if you tie your windows codes to microsoft account, that you can change it out

Call MS support. They don't care even it weren't legit anymore as long as you're using what they want.

There is no way to recover it. There is a popular os thats free and better than windows called gentoo though. Go on Google, download it to a drive, run it through your bios and bam

Gentoo's not better than windows

I just upgraded my pc and just reused my old HDD, windows stayed activated.

If your old motherboard still working you can get cd key off it using rweverything. Look at apci tables and then msdb
