If you change just a HDD, or a motherboard, or (I think) up to about 4 other pieces of hardware, you shouldn't have a problem.
If you changed more hardware .. which amounts to basically a new PC, then you're going to need a new licence.

You're data shouldn't be toast(as such) .. it'll just be locked into that Win install for a while until you can transfer it over to another device.

Windows is only licensed for use on that machine(pre catastrophic failure).

What hardware did you change?

With W7 you could get loaders which are programs that activates windows. Maybe search around for one for W10.

Just get on the phone to Microsoft. I've done this a couple of times in the past.

Just tell them you had some hardware fail on your computer and after replacing it Windows doesn't activate, they'll give you a code to enter (really long one) over the phone.

well, seeing "it" took out my power supply, motherboard, video card, and 3 HDD's I just bolted the SSD(C drive) into a different PC.

I am seriously amazed it survived.....

Ok,, phone call coming up.

so its now officially a 95% perfect storm.
only needed the ssd to die for perfection.
Microsoft could not find my win 8 key,,
I asked Swetha to search THEIR records for my payment,,
"not my job. try here"

used belarc, winkeyfinder, (why doesnt she know where it is?) winkeyfinder came up with a key, but not the correct one-- just how many keys are there?

and, believe it or not. YOUR microsoft account doesnt have ANY info relevant to the legality of your win 10.

so whats it for?
apart from gathering more info---

how much Inc?
65?

Will pm you the source..

I have now upgraded the storm to 100%..
SSD corupted, at some stage while still visable I loaded hirens and copied 100 odd gbs to another drive.... of course the windows recovery disc wont recover, and the iso loads till a purple screen and stops. mouse, headphones and keyboard lights all go out.
Have just finished running seatools on the ssd and it passes everything ?????

am now waiting for the PC case to fall apart....

just wondering if my install failure is to do with formatting???

the iso works, it runs fine until a drive is connected-- then freezes.
