Anytime you have to replace a chip you have to call MS - it's a huge pain in the ass.
especially when what they are selling you is an OS platform for Spying.

This is true for other Windows versions, but not for an upgraded Win 10. I've looked around the Internet and read discussions on reddit, you definitely can't reactivate it. The function in Windows where you enter the code when you call MS is not available and it says it's not possible on the official help page.
But wait, there's more! I've seen screenshots of MS support chat protocols on reddit where people actually got accused of fraud against Microsoft when they tried to reactivate Win 10 after changing parts.
It even has become a running gag
