Question Weird Stuff...After Upgrading BIOS...Windows De-Activated

[MajorTom308]

Specs are in the signature line

Upgraded the bios, chipset & apu drivers to the latest versions.
After reboot, windows popped up the "need to activate message" in the bottom right corner.
Windows thinks I changed hardware, which I did not.
Reactivated with digital license Never had this happen before.
Is this a one time weird-ness or have you run into this problem???

TPM security key changed with BIOS change. Do you have a Microsoft/Hotmail account ? If you have it, all you have to do is to log into it with password.
If you don't have license key try here
