    I can't make phone call out because it costs too much money. I live in Vietnam.

    Thanks a lot, my friend.

    I'm waiting on a reply in another thread as to whether OEM: DM is the Single language version. I'll post back when I get a reply. If it is, doing a clean install with Windows 10 Home Single language will fix your activation issue. If it isn't we're back to square one.

    Run WINVER. I'll bet you are on Windows 10 build 10240. You need to upgrade to Windows 10 build 10586 before it will accept the the Windows 8 product key for activation.

    OEM: DM is just standard Windows 8/8.1

    In the meantime, look in the UPDATE section of this website:
    How to do a clean install of Windows 10 - gHacks Tech News

    See the product key ending in -8HVX7. Use that product key and see what happens.

    Did you try changing the product key to the -8HVX7 product key?

    Are you going to try to do a clean install? Since you have a Windows 8 product key in bios, a clean install should not ask you for a product key or which version you want to install. It should read the product key in bios and use that. If it asks you for a product key then you are trying to install the wrong edition/language of Windows 10 and you will have the same problem of it not activating.

    Glad to hear... all's well that ends well *Wink

    Not to be pedantic... but the cause of the problem is that GWX uses the GA (build 10240) setup files which has the wrong default Home key - much better to install from the latest ISO.

    Please mark this thread as solved - I think the link I posted above may help others as well.
