Hello, my computer recently had its motherboard replaced because the original motherboard failed. Before the motherboard replacement, Windows 11 Home was activated normally on this computer. After replacing the motherboard, while keeping the original hard drive and Windows installation, Windows is now showing as not activated with error code 0xC004F213. I am currently signed in with my Microsoft account. I also tried the "I changed hardware on this device recently" activation troubleshooter, but it says that it cannot find any devices linked to my Microsoft account that can be used to reactivate this device. Could you please help me check: 1. Whether my original Windows digital license is still valid; 2. Whether the license can be transferred to the replacement motherboard; 3. How I can reactivate Windows on this computer. Windows edition: Windows 11 Home Error code: 0xC004F213

Where did you get your Windows licence was that pre-installed on the PC or did you purchase a full retail Windows licence from Microsoft or from a 3rd party retailer?

Or is your Windows licence based on a previous Windows 7 or 8 licence?

Click your Start Button, type cmd then right click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator'

Run or paste this command and hit Enter:

slmgr.vbs /dlv
