Windows 10: New key after activation problems

I just found out Microsoft changed my key after the Windows 10 professional activation problems.

Activation Problem

Hi,

Changing a computer hardware is one of the most common reasons why a computer is asking to be activated. In activating your Windows 10, you'll be needing its product key. To get that, see the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X > Command Prompt (admin).
• Enter the following command: wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey
• Click Enter. This will reveal the product key.

Once you have the product key, use it by following the steps below:

• Click Start > Settings > Update & security
  > Activation > Change the product key.
• Enter the new product key; then, click Next to activate.

If the above resolution doesn't work, we suggest that you get in touch with our
Answer Desk as they're the ones who have all the resources in troubleshooting this case.

If you have any other concerns, don't hesitate to post it on this forum.

Hi,

I suggest you to go through Phone activation to activate your Windows 10 copy.

To run Phone activation please follow the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows + R key.
  
• 
  Type slui 4 and hit enter.
  
• 
  Select the Country or
  Region.
  
• 
  Follow the on screen instructions.
  

Hope this helps. Please respond if you have any further related query.



Thank you.

 

New/Replacement Activation Key

You can purchase a Windows 10 Pro key then enter it yourself:

Step 1: Buy Windows 10 Home/Pro


Step 2:

Click Start > Settings > Update & security
> Activation > Change the product key then enter the new product key then click
Next to Activate





This can happen for a number of reasons:

• You copied a Windows 10 Pro off the Internet (usually a volume license - organization - key) and changed on a Windows 10 Home installation. Windows 10 Pro is not free.
  If this is what you did, you will need to reinstall the previous edition or version you were running. You inadvertently installed the wrong edition.
  • 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

To find out if you have the right edition installed:

Click Start > Settings > Update & security > Activation > Edition.

If the edition of Windows 10 installed does not correspond with the edition of Windows 7 or Windows 8 you were previously running, then you need to reinstall the right edition.
