Windows 10 pro activation

Hi,

If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free and ended up in a non-activated state, try following these steps:

• Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & security >
  Activation.
  
• If your activation status is Connect to the Internet to activate Windows, select Activate to manually activate Windows. If this doesn’t work, you can contact customer support.

For your reference, we suggest to check the article below when updating Windows 10

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to activate Windows. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



However, please let us know:

1. How are you trying to activate Windows 10?
   
2. What is the complete error message that you receive?
   
3. Which edition of Windows is installed on the computer? i.e. Home/Pro
   

I would suggest you to try running the activation troubleshooter and see if that helps. Refer the steps mentioned in the article Using the Activation troubleshooter.



If you receive any error code, you may want to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the article Get help with Windows activation errors as per the error code.
