In other news, Windows failed to reactivate after I switched out my motherboard. I tried a few times, got a customer support rep to remote my desktop and try, and once they said they couldn't help I just decided "oh well."

So I guess I'll be using my spare Windows 10 install provided through the university on this computer, which is a shame. Was really hoping I could keep it for a more dire situation down the road.
