Unable to reactivate windows after hardware upgrade

V

Hey guys, so i have this really annoying issue


My motherboard and CPU were really due for an upgrade, so i replaced them and that's that. But now i have this watermark stuck on my screen telling me to activate windows. When i go into settings to activate it says "windows reported that the hardware changed... yadayada".


So turns out i just need to run the troubleshooter and choose the "i recently changed hardware" option.

But every....damn....time i try this i get "We can’t reactivate Windows because our servers aren’t available at the moment. Wait for a few minutes, or try adding your Microsoft account again. "


It has been like this for the past 20 hours i REALLY doubt their servers would be down for that amount of time. Is this legit or am i having a freak error? Any help would be appreciated.


With kind regards,
