Windows 10: Got windows 10 on innitial release when it was free and didnt require activation code and I...

So I was one of the lucky people who got an activated version of windows 10 completely free on release and wondering if It is eligible for the 11 upgrade even though I don't have the activation key for that copy of windows 10 assuming it's built into the windows 10 iso installer. I ask because I upgraded motherboard/cpu to be compatible with windows 11 and didnt realize it removed the activation from windows 10 before windows updated to 11. but i am more than happy to format the drive and reinstall windows 10 so it shows as activated before I let windows upstate reinstall 11 to save $140 on

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
