    Can't use old product code to activate Windows on new Dell PC. Store only has Windows...


    In the past, I've only used the HUP Home Use Windows product codes, and I need to install Windows on my new PC.The only version in the Microsoft Store is Windows 10/11 Pro, at $199.I only need a simple version for home use, and would rather not spend $199 for something that will not include the update to Windows 11.Is there anything I can do?Thank 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

    Windows 10 product code activation issue

    Had pre-installed Windows 10 on new PC, but preferred to swap out the new drive with my old Windows 10 Pro drive into the new PC.

    Would not activate through Troubleshooting process when selecting the option relating to hardware replacement.

    Assuming there was some kind of product code mismatch on MB vs HD - not sure.

    Two calls to tech support told me to enter my product code for my old Windows 7 Pro - that should work - it did not.

    Second call tech was very sympathetic to my problem and persistant.

    She got into my PC, could not "fix" it, but gave me a new Windows 10 Pro product code, installed, and activated.

    Thanks for the help!
