    Updated To Windows 10 Enterprise No Way To Activate


    I bought this laptop used around 2 years ago and all has been fine and working until last night. I turned it off, everything was fine. Turned it on this morning and had no ability to connect to the internet, it just gave me an error message. Firewall was also off, and it was nowhere to be seen to fix it, along with a few other things.


    I Googled it on my phone as I have not had this issue before, and read it is easily solved by reinstalling Windows, so I did that - where it gives you the option to completely reinstall a fresh copy or keep your stuff. I chose a fresh copy and after around an hour it was a brand new shiny copy of Windows 10.


    All was fine and I could install my previous programs without any issues, updated what needed to be updated and added my files from my back ups. Nothing seemed different at all, it is working as normal, until I noticed in settings at the very bottom it says it is not activated. That confused me as it was an activated genuine copy of windows 10 before. In the bottom right corner it says in small letters "Windows 10 Enterprise" it was not Enterprise before so not sure why it is now.


    As this was a used laptop I don't have the product key for the previous version of Windows 10 and the person I bought it off is not contactable as I don't have their details anymore. As I said this was bought two years ago as a used laptop.

    So what do I do in this situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

    Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

    I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.

    Activation after 1703 build on windows 10 enterprise

    Where did you get Windows 10 Enterprise from in the first place?

    Windows 10 Enterprise is a volume license client used by large organizations that deploy Windows 10 in bulk to hundreds or thousands of computers.

    It uses one of two activation methods (Multiple Activation Key - MAK) or Key Management Server - KMS.

    MAK works like a retail key which you enter and can use to activate by Internet or Telephone.

    KMS requires connecting a Windows Server domain or VPN into a network to handle activation request.

    If you got Windows 10 Enterprise through your employer, you should contact your System Administrator for Assistance.

    If you happened to have just downloaded a copy of Windows 10 Enterprise off the Internet and installed, then you need to remove it and downgrade to what your computer is actually entitled for.

      • The copy of Windows 10 you download and upgrade from will correspond with the edition of Windows you have installed, if it does not, this is why you might be experiencing problems activating:

    • Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Windows 8.0 Core, Windows 8.1 Core
      will install Windows 10 Home

    • Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8.0 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro
      will install Windows 10 Pro

    Press Windows key + X

    Click Command Prompt (Admin)

    Enter the following:

    Licensingdiag.exe -report %userprofile%\desktop\report.txt -log %userprofile%\desktop\repfiles.cab

    Hit Enter

    Copy and paste the results in a reply to this thread for further analysis.

    If your machine has a license for Windows 8.1, you can install the edition of Windows 10 that corresponds with it.
