  1. Bought a new laptop, and it says windows activation error


    Purchased this branch new laptop today.

    Turned it on, but it says there is a problem with the Windows 10 activation code. This was pre loaded from the manufacturer.

    Ive tried to follow the propts to fix, found the error code but there is nowhere to enter it.

    Can anyone advise or help?

    :)

  3. Problem with activation on New Windows 10 Laptop

    Hello Necrosis,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

    • Is that new laptop came with Windows 10 Pre-installed?
    • Is this message appearing since from the purchase?
    • Do you remember any changes to the laptop made this to happen?
    If you bought a new device running Windows 10, it will automatically activate when you connect your device to the Internet. If the activation servers are busy, you might need to wait a while for Windows to activate.

    To check activation status, select the Start
    Bought a new laptop, and it says windows activation error [​IMG]
    button,
    then select
    Settings > Update & security > Activation.

    Note

    • In some cases, you might need to enter the Windows 10 product key that came with the device packaging, or included as a card or on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) attached to the device.

    Before you come up with the above information, suggest you to refer the below article and see if they help you.

    Windows 10 will not activate Error code 0x803F7001

    Possibly there can be the problem with Microsoft activation Server, so your Windows 10 is not activated. In this scenario, you need to wait and verify if it is the issue from Microsoft’s side. But if you are getting error code 0x803f7001, you can also try these steps:

    1. Open Settings app. Then go to Update and security > Activation screen > Change product.
    2. Type your Windows edition product key and click Next.
    3. You’ll get We couldn’t activate Windows error message.
    4. Retry steps 1-3 then type your 25-characters unique product key.
    5. Wait for the process to complete, Windows 10 is activated.
    Hope something helps this problem
