  2. 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.

    Hey mate,

    When you upgrade with the free reserved copy from the GWX app on an activated Windows 7 or 8.1 PC, Windows 10 has a generic key included that will activate it.

    If you clean or upgrade install Windows 10 without doing the above first, Windows 10 will not be activated.


    Can I reinstall Windows 10 on my computer after upgrading with free upgrade?

    Once you’ve upgraded to Windows 10 using the USB drive or DVD, and use that to upgrade your device or reinstall after you’ve upgraded.

    I had reserved through GWX but I used the media creation tool and directly upgraded.

    So my activation is in order as it should be.

    Note I upgraded from activated 8.1 PRO to 10 PRO.
