    Has anyone lost there activation after doing this update. I did the update, then did a hardware upgrade and windows lost activation. I went to my Microsoft account where my linked digital license is and they are all gone for all my systems are.

    I did a motherboard, CPU and Ram upgrade from a Ryzen 7-5800X on a Asus B450-F Gaming with 64Gb DDR4 ram to a Ryzen 7-8700F on a MSI B650-VC with 32GB DDR5 Ram

    And then you wonder why you got deactivated? It's an entirely new PC/device in MS' eyes.

    Yes I know. But why did all my devices in my MS-account get removed.

    Yeah that's strange. Provided the licenses were Retail, and associated to the account, they should be there. AFAIK OEM licenses cannot be transferred, except in some jurisdictions.

    Why do you want to install 26H1 28000 update on 25H2 26200 OS?

    26200 → 28000 is a full build upgrade (ISO).
