The issue started when you moved your original Windows 10 Pro from an HDD to an SSD. Everything worked fine then. After building a new computer, everything seemed normal until two days later. The watermark appeared, warning that you hadn’t activated it, and you’re confused about what to do.

The Windows 10 activation connects with the physical components of your device, especially the motherboard. If the hardware is altered, it must be reactivated once more.

Contact Microsoft, retrieve your previous key. They’ll provide you with a fresh activation code.

You must turn it on with new equipment. It clears when you switch the motherboard. Use the original key or sign in via your MS account if linked.

Or try the troubleshooter... If it detects any clues about the key connected to your device, it should trigger it.

I faced a comparable problem and after looking at some online resources, I used the troubleshooter which cleared the watermark. If that doesn't resolve it, you can review this guide (https://devsjournal.com/how-to-remove-ac...rmark.html) for additional fixes. Let me know if you need more help.
