I swapped motherboards recently. Despite /specifically/ getting a Microsoft account, thinking that it would link my account to my licenses and allow for seamless transfer, it seems I need to call into microsoft for them to re-activate my install. So first off, fuck you Microsoft.
To the question: I have a watermark in the corner of my screen saying I need to activate, and I am unable to change my desktop background and some other things. Besides that, the OS is functioning normally.
- julianlam 5y agoI haven't used Windows in over a decade now, and this behaviour boggles my mind... Imagine losing access to parts of your OS because you switched hardware around. It's odd because a decade ago I would've probably been fine with it, too.
