How to reactivate Windows 10 after a hardware change

If you make significant hardware changes to a computer, such as replacing the motherboard, processor, or main storage drive, Windows 10 will likely not recognize it as the same device, causing the setup to become deactivated (with error 0xC004F211).

In the past, if the setup lost its activation after upgrading or replacing some of the hardware, you had to contact Microsoft support directly to reactivate, which was a solution less than ideal since you needed to go through many steps and not many users knew about the option.
