You’ll be able to tell Windows that you “changed hardware on this device recently” and select your PC from a list of devices associated with your Microsoft account. Click that option and sign in with the Microsoft account you associated your license with. Head to Settings > Update & Security > Activation and you’ll see a “Troubleshoot” option if activation failed. If you’ve just changed a few peripherals, Windows 10 may just automatically activate itself after you clean-install it. But, if you’ve changed the motherboard or just a lot of other components, Windows 10 may see your computer as a new PC and may not automatically activate itself. Just replacing your hard drive or upgrading your graphics card shouldn’t cause a problem. Microsoft has never actually wanted to explain exactly how the hardware-based Windows activation process works.
