Hello how are you? I have the following problem, change the HDD drive to a solid state and now I do not activate the windows license of my UEFI, I get the following error (0x0C004C008) that by the Microsoft page details that the product is being used in another Computer, ie on my old HDD drive, my question is:

Is there any way I can do the activation on my new HDD?

I clarify that my HDD drive has the operating system corresponding to the license, which is windows 10 Home. I appreciate your comments

If it's a license you purchased through the MS store you can remove the device here Link Removed assuming you use a MS account to login to the device.

Also see Activation after hardware change here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12440windows-10-activation it includes the C008 error you are receiving

Last Option, Call Microsoft to re-activate.

The solution was called to the support of Microsoft, with the ID of the test, could do the activation in 3 easy steps.
