new activation code

[basswwwyyzard]

my motherboard went done and I replaced it.Now windows is saying my
activation code is already in use.How do I go about getting a new code?

Hello,

start the activation process and try activating by phone. It shouldn't take
long and should be an easy process. There, you'll get your activation code.
It says it's in use because it is indeed already in use - by your computer
.

When you go to activate, you can select "Activate by Phone". You can call
Microsoft and they will get you up and running in about 5 minutes.

It says it's already in use because of the previous install you had.
