  1. windows 11 wont activate after reinstall on the same machine


    Ok so i have had some hard drive issue, reinstalled windows 11 last week and it activated just fine with my linked account, i was still having some issues with the hard drive so i done a full format and deleted all partitions ect, now after reinstalling windows as new it refuses to activate via my linked account, the key was originally a windows 7 if im not mistaken then upgraded to windows 10 via microsoft online chat so i guess since i dont have the key at hand and didn't get the key that was linked to my account it would be waste of time with the phone activation? i have everything updated

    :)

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage

  3. Windows 11 wont activate

    Error code 0xc004c008, install windows 11, took a couple of try's, one of those attempts I activated on install but ended up not working because of SSD formatting problem so once fixed I reinstalled without activating and now it wont let me use the same code to activate.

    Windows 10 Wont Activate after upgrade

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

    “Due to high demand for Windows 10 globally, few of us may experience a temporary delay in activation. For Activation Errors
    “0xC004C003 or 0Xc004F050” request you to wait for 24 hours and Windows 10 should activate automatically without any issue on your machine.”

    As a work around I suggest you follow the below steps to activate a couple of activation issues.


    • Push the start button

    • Type Settings

    • Navigate to Update and Security

    • Click on Activation
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
