Windows 10: Windows Activation Failed for an activated windows 10 upgrade.

Hi,


I have a HP Laptop which had windows 8 pre-installed in it. Under the free upgrade I upgraded my Windows to Windows 10.

I had linked my system to my user id. Recently I logged in into one of my friend's system, due to which, somehow, her and mine ID's got interchanged or synced somehow. My profile started showing her photo and her showed mine. Since then, my system had started giving me the "Activate Windows" Error, with error code 0x803F7001. I have removed her system from the list of systems in my account, but the Activate Windows error is not going.

I have troubleshooted the issue but no help.

To further add, even Microsoft Defender has stopped working and when I click on Restart Now (showing in Windows Defender Security Centre), it says "

"Turn on controlled folder access to enable or edit protection".


Please help in resolving these issues.


Regards

:)

 

Windows 10 activation question

Mine finally did although it was about 6 or so hours after as it was saying failed to activate.

 

Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

This kinda sucks. However, if one is upgrading from a retail W7/8, then it should activate on different hardware, with possible phone activation required if it's been over 120 days or whatever the timeout period is now since the last activation. Remember to erase the copy on the old hardware, of course.

 

Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

I did a full clean install of Windows 10 a while back and it will not activate. I didn't do a clean install from Windows 7/8/8.1 it was from Windows 10 (activated) so I expected it to activate just fine since it was fine before hand.

My Windows 10 license wasn't created from a previous Windows 7/8/8.1 key I got it from signing up to be an insider back in Nov of 2014. I installed a preview build on my laptop from the insider program and it worked just fine and it automatically upgraded to newer and newer preview builds and then to the full release automatically, fully activated and working fine. I did a full clean install not long ago (expect it to go through without issue since it was working before) and now it will not activate and I can't find any info on how to get it to activate and I can't seem to find the insider Windows 10 key.

Microsoft online support was useless and the gave me the toll free number to tech support.. I am currently on the phone waiting, they said it could be a 1hr 30min wait.. sigh.. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
