  1. Activating Windows 10 after it's already installed


    I'm running Windows 10 using Parallels on a mac

    Windows was corrupt
    Parallels support helped me reload a new copy of Windows (but didn't activate before installing)

    Now I can't activate my account

    Even though I've signed in to my Microsoft account and I think linked it

    Under activation I see message 'WIndows reported that no product key was found on your device, Error code 0xC004F213)

    Troubleshoot tells me to purchase a genuine copy

    I don't think I have a product key (but another computer on this network has 00326 19850 10000 AA982 on it but it says 'some of these characters can't appear in product key) so I think it was a digital upgrade

    How can I activate my Windows 10?

    I can't get any help from Microsoft, only the virtual assistant who sends me links to webpages which are sending me round in circles!

    :)

  2. Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

    Activating Windows 10 after it's already installed

    Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

    How long did you wait for activation?
    When I re-installed with a fresh install... it took a few hours to sync and activate.
    However, it did, finally, activate.
