Changed cpu and motherboard, now it won't activate
The computer was activated with Windows 11. After having to change the motherboard to a b550km and a Ryzen 5500 it won't activate. It comes up on a list of computers that can't be activated. I've tried this many times, I used to be a tech and have activated Windows many times. I sent two requests to Microsoft help, and it said two times that someone would call me but they never did.

I seem to have fixed it. Windows came up with a list of old Windows 10 licenses it remembered, and I picked one of those. It then activated, but my original license is gone somewhere.
