I followed all of the steps outlined here to activate windows 10 with a digital license after a hardware change:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/20530/windows-10-reactivating-after-hardware-change
I can confirm with 100% certainty that:
On my previous device I had: "Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account",
I am trying to activate the correct version of windows 10 (pro). I can even confirm this by looking at my devices in my windows account. This lists both my previous and current device. Both have windows 10 pro
I am connected to the same windows account on this PC that I was connected to on my previous PC,
What I am running into is the last step in the activation post linked above. Specifically:
5. From the list of devices that are linked to your Microsoft account, select the check box next to This is the device I’m using right now.
It only finds my old device and not my current one. Like I said, both my accounts are linked to my Microsoft account and I am signed into my Microsoft account on this PC.
Please help me as I don't want to buy windows again and don't want to use this PC without windows being activated.
Edit: I thought this might prove useful to know. The error message it gives me is:
windows reported that no product key was found on your device. error code: 0xc004f213 (translated from Dutch)
I've tried to just activate Windows 10 pro on the device the troubleshooter can find (my old device) thinking it might shake something loose, but it just says that I can't activate windows on this device. Which makes sense as the device I selected is not my current device. I don't know, maybe this is info is useful?
