Q: How do I deauthorize a computer, when it's the same computer?

Everytime I've reinstalled Windows, iTunes makes me re-authorize the computer, taking up my 5 devices. I was told I can't deauthorize without access to the computer, but it's the same computer I'm using now. How do I get my computer deauthorized?

Windows 8

See Deauthorize your Mac or PC using iTunes.

You should deauthorize before reinstalling Windows, then authorize again afterwards. You should be able to use the deauthorize all method to start over.
