  1. Licence Activation of Free Upgrade from W7 to W10 on new Hardware - Error 0xC004F025


    Hi Gurus,


    i upgraded my PC with new Mainboard, new Graphic Card, new memory and new CPU. Only Harddisc, SSD, PSU and Chassis are still from the old system.

    The Harddisc is indeed the original disc that migrated from W7 to W10. My W10 Upgrades failed since 1903 see here.


    Now Windows informed me via pop up note that i shall go for setting / activation.


    What i find is this:

    Troubleshoot advised to buy a new license in the store.


    I scanned the license as it's now on the new system and get this:

    I had today a desperate and long walk through Microsoft account settings, linking my user account to the Microsoft account, found activation for free upgrade from Professional W7 to W10 and ended up with the information that all Microsoft servers shall be busy.


    Please, please let me know that i somehow can continue with my Windows 10 on my new hardware.


    Many thanks in advance,


    Ulrich Littmann

  2. Dual boot W7 and W10 activation

    I have been running a W7 Pro OS for some years now. I have three hard drives installed.

    I created a seperate 25GB partition (H) on one of the spare hard drives that was not the C drive.

    I installed W10 from a downloaded "setup" app from MS.

    On turning on the PC I get the choice of what OS to run, W7 or W10.

    W7 runs just as it used to.

    W10 loads and opens as I would expect, but is apparently not activated. It will not accept the W7 Key, and I don't know how to obtain the W10 activation Key. I had assumed that as W7 is activated and associated with the same mother board, that would allow
    me to use W10 fully activated as well. Can I activate W10 or must I puschase an activation key for W10 Pro, which seems to go against the MS offer of a free OS upgrade to holders of W7/8 licences.

    Thanks for your help,

    Regards

    Windows 10 Activation Error Code: 0xC004F025

    So I'm having issues with activating Windows 10 at the moment. I had it running on my old rig but recently built a new one. I bought Windows 10 Home back in 2018.

    At least it should be the Home version. However right now it's showing as Windows 10 Enterprise. I don't know if that's the same thing and honestly not sure if that's what it was before.

    Activation error code 0xC004F025 after change of motherboard

    sorry but no helpful or new information in your reply

    as I wrote before

    I have windows 10 version 1803 with digital licence through free upgrade from win 7

    I replaced a broken motherboard with an identical new model

    can't activate - error code 0xC004F025

    went step by step through all activation/troubleshoot options -

    after a few trys [server not available] it finally logged in my account, showed my device,but failed to re-activate.

    I went to my MS account and found two devices with identical names, one being assumedly the old MB.

    On advice from another microsoft advisor, I removed both devices.

    Now I can not find a way to add a new device and using troubleshoot/changed hardware option from my system, error message comes up ' cannot find a device'

    no activation of course.

    I don't understand the problem

    please advice

    thank you
