    Can't activate windows 10 pro on a new device


    Hello Everyone!This is my story:After many years of using my laptop I've built a new PC.My laptop runs a valid windows 10 pro which I got after a free upgrade for a valid win 8.1.This means I have a digital license onlyI've used the media creator and installed win 10, but the Home edition first. Can't activate windows 10 pro on a new device :DAfter searching the web it has become clear, that you have to use the specific version for installation otherwise there's no license that can save you.So reinstallation was in order which is done.Still nothing.No troubleshooter, no refreshing everything, no restarts could help.Even removed the lapt

    Cant activate Windows 10 Pro on new device

    On my old laptop I have installed windows 10 pro, recently I bought a new laptop with Windows 10 Home preinstalled.

    Because I no longer using my old device and I need Windows 10 Pro features I decided to reinstall windows on my new laptop with account I have on old laptop. I have removed my old device from list of devices on my account and reinstalled
    windows on my new device. After signing-in to my new laptop with account I was using on my old laptop with Windows 10 Pro I got message that I don't have a valid digital license or product key.

    So basically I have 2 accounts, one on my old laptop (Windows 10 Pro) and one on my new laptop (Window 10 Home).

    How can I properly Install Windows 10 Pro on my new laptop with valid activation? Thank you.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 Activation Error: 0xC004F034

    Hi Greg,

    This error code is usually caused by a problem with the product key. For better assistance, we would like to clarify how you got the Windows 10 Pro? Is it supplied by a company?

    As an initial troubleshooting step, we suggest that you run the Activation troubleshooter and try activating Windows 10 Pro again. To run the Activation troubleshooter, follow these steps:

    • Click the Start button and select the Settings
      icon.
    • Choose Update & Security from the list.
    • Select Activation in the left pane of the window.
    • Click Troubleshoot.

    If your Windows 10 Pro is supplied by a company, we recommend that you get in touch with your organization's support for assistance with the activation.

    We'll be waiting to your reply.
