My old desk top PC which contained my itunes account crashed and I just purchased a new PC. I've just installed itunes on this new machine but when I try to authorize it I was told that my itunes account is activated on 5 devices already... I cant access my dead PC and I'm trying to get itunes activated on this new machine. How do I go about getting this new PC authorized?
Windows, Windows 10
Authorization
iTunes Store - Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
Deauthorization
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. Your other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
You may only do this once per year.

See also Authorization vs. association - Apple Community. You will likely want to remove dead associations too.
