Can't Activate newly purchased windows 10 home

hi, I used the usb boot tool and installed windows 10S on my laptop. I realized I couldn't download anything not from the app store so I purchased windows 10 home. I was given a product key but it is not accepted in the activation settings. Just trying to
get this laptop operable.

Thanks

 

Activation "Unable to reach Windows activation servers"

Hi Michael,





Based on the details provided on this thread, if you replaced an hardware, it will affect the activation of your
Windows 10 since it is using a digital entitlement which our server will collect the data of your hardware to use it as reference for activation. In regards with the error message, you can refer to the article entitled
"Unable to reach Windows activation
servers" error after installing the Windows 10 Anniversary. In this article, there are instructions and on how to troubleshoot the error message.



Let us know how it goes.



Regards.

 

In the case of the laptop you have to upgrade from a qualifying OS(7,8.1) then you can perform a clean instillation/activation.
