    Please re-read post #1. MS said that the OP's key is not valid.

    My last reply is to member Porthos.
    The content of the reply has nothing to do with " MS said the op's key is not valid ".

    What about Post #6 ?
    It is an excellent advice.
    But the OP has not responded back with the result.

    Exactly. However, I would leave it to @Superfly or others to comment on how good a substitute Showkey product key checker is for "trying it".

    Not really - one person on the other end of the phone line at MS said the OP's key is not valid. Read these forums for a week and you will read about all kinds of misinformation that some people on the other end of the phone line at MS have said.

    I agree.
    My response to the OP was just a suggestion.
    The rest are just argumentative irrelevancy.

    Did you get the error code when entering the generic Pro key or trying to activate Windows 10 Pro after it upgraded?

    Please, from an elevated command prompt ("run as administrator" command prompt) type slmgr /dlv

    Post a screenshot of the result window that produces. There will be no personal, unique info on it that needs to be blacked out.

    Error Code 0xc004f014 is associated with KMS type activation, which if you are running a legitimately activated Windows 10 you should not be getting. slmgr /dlv will provide the info needed to determine how your Windows 10 is activated.

    My apologies. I stuffed up. I entered my code rather than the generic code.
    I have now entered the generic code, upgraded & then entered my code after upgrade which it accepted.
    Apologies again & thanks all for your help.

    Nice to hear that your Pro key from eBay is genuine.
    A few bad apples do spoil the whole basket, sad to say.
