The license is linked to your account but not your PC's motherboard. In order to solve this problem, you better just buy a cheap RM4.50 Windows 10 license key to activate your Windows 10 without depending on your Microsoft account. This is the only best, cheapest, easiest and fastest way.

I was bought a mini PC from taobao at 2 days ago then bought a Windows 10 Pro key from this seller. Chat with him then wait for his reply after few hours. After I get the key just straight activated. Even after that I get reformat the mini PC again, I did repartition, reformat new drive, then did boot clean install by USB drive. After that, login to Windows with offline account. Everything is fine and just logged in as pre-activated.

Your case is quite weird, usually when we activate Windows 10, they key is useless after you done your Windows 10 activation. The activation already registered into your motherboard as long as do not replace new motherboard. It doesn't matter you change new RAM, change new graphics card, change new SSD, change new processor or did not login your Microsoft account. The activation was still there.

What kind of activation key did you use? KMS type or MAK type? I just recommend you to give up the current key and buy a MAK type license key. Just one time activate, no grace period, it is permanent activated. The key is useless after you done activate your Windows 10 because what we need is get your motherboard to bind with Windows 10 activation.

Get the MAK license key for just RM4.50, it is selling dirt cheap.

You can do it but just beware if someone might report to BSA. My advise is better don't do this in shop and company. Usually is safe for personal use.

Not so sure what is different of Windows 10 IoT, I guess IoT is for mobile x86 and ARM only. Also for Raspberry Pi,

Call to Microsft toll free to activate manually by phone. 100% working. Also free toll is no charging credits and no need to speak with agent, just listen to the system voice. The system will give you a list of activation ID.
