    Can't activate Windows on a new laptop


    I just got a new Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, and it asks to activate Windows. However, when I go to the settings and try to activate Windows, I get an error saying "We can't activate Windows on this device because the product key was already used on another device" error code 0xC004C008. I tried reseting the laptop to factory settings, but it didn't help. What should I do?

    :)

    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

    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.
