Windows 10: Activation

Upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10. Got a bad install.Reinstall Windows 7 (complete) .Got no upgrade icon on task bar.
Reinstalled windows 10 from ISO Disk. Install will not activate. Shows Lic key. Will it take time for the server to do the activation ?

Not having a update icon in the task bar Windows 7 mean that the first upgrade was installed ?

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.

 

Hi there

didn't you get a prompt for W10 during the re-install process. Refuse that (say later) . Install W7 and activate . Now go to windows Update in control panel and you should see Windows 10 offered as an update.

When re-installing W7 WIPE all the partitions off the old W7 partition / HDD.

Cheers

The reinstall was with downloaded ISO. Will wait.The error massage was Server blocked Key.Sever may be getting hammered
