   • What Counts As a Hardware Change? That’s an area even Microsoft won’t fully explain. Instead, the company provides this statement on its website: “If you make significant hardware changes on your device, such as replacing your motherboard, Windows will no longer find a license that matches your device, and you’ll need to reactivate Windows to get it up and running.”
   • Digital License for Pre-Built Systems. The big reactivation roadblock likely stems from laptops and desktops pre-built by Acer, Dell, HP, Samsung, and so on.
   • Product Keys for System Builders. System builders purchase Windows 10 “product keys” directly from retailers, including Amazon, Microsoft, Newegg, and more.
   • Upgrades from Windows 7/8/8.1. In this case, customers don’t have a Windows 10 key, nor is a key embedded in the BIOS or UEFI. Instead, they can apply the same product key used to upgrade to Windows 10.
