Windows 10: Brandnew PC with new license requires activating but fails 0x803F7001

Although the code suggests (re)activating is impossible probably due to a major hardware change, this can not be the case.

New PC, new legal OEM Windows version.

Minor changes applied:

- initialised an extra hard disk

- changed the name of the computer

- added some outlook email addresses


Can anyone help me?

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

Hi Dean,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We understand that, you face issue with Windows 10 activation and I'd certainly help you.

You might see this error if no valid Windows license was found for your device when upgrading to Windows 10 or if you performed a clean installation of Windows 10, which requires a new license to activate your copy of Windows.

Please refer to the section “Windows is not activated as your previous version of Windows on this device was not activated prior to upgrade to Windows 10. (Error code: 0x803F7001)” in the Microsoft article below and check, if it helps.
