  1. Can't activate Windows after updating to Windows 10 Pro


    • I bought a laptop from BestBuy in December.
    • It was Windows 10 Home
    • I purchased Windows 10 Pro directly from Microsoft on 9/24.
    • I installed it, but there was a problem getting it activated because “you don’t have a valid digital license or product key…”
    • I thought we discovered an issue with the service tag not being attached to my name, so that’s been fixed now.
    • But, if I go to Settings / Update & Security / Activation – it still won’t let me activate it.
    • It says I have Windows 10 Enterprise (but I don’t know how Enterprise got there) and that Windows is not activated.
    • The message says “We can’t activate Windows on this device because you don’t have a valid digital license or product key… Error code: 0x803F7001”

    How do I get this resolved and get my pc updated to 10 Pro?

    :)

    How long did you wait for activation?
    When I re-installed with a fresh install... it took a few hours to sync and activate.
    However, it did, finally, activate.

    I bought Windows 7 Pro OEM key from G2Play.net for 12€ to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro - worked like a charm but be advised if you buy a OEM key you can not download the Win 7 iso from microsoft and have to get it elsewhere.

    Can't activate Windows after updating to Windows 10 Pro

    Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

    Hi!

    I signed up in the windows insider program and got windows 10 free - the windows 10 insider preview updated to windows 10 pro.
    Today i got another SSD and did a raid 0 on my system forcing me to do a clean install of windows but now it wont activate anymore.
    Signing in with my microsoft account that was linked to the insider program didnt help.
    Maybe i got this problem since i quit the insider program for several days and signed up again after i found out that my win 10 wont activate anymore.
    Any ideas how to fix it?
