    MAK license?


    I just bought a new mini PC that came with Windows 10 Pro. I found out that it has a MAK license, not OEM or retail. This isn't right, is it? Shouldn't a new computer that I buy that comes with Windows 10 Pro preinstalled have either an OEM or Retail license, not MAK?


    Thanks for your help.

    :)

    Activating Windows 10 Pro with MAK key

    We purchased 5 Windows 10 Pro MAK licenses from from the Microsoft Volume License site and downloaded the software. Installed yesterday on a brand new build and all went well until we tried to activated the license. To make a long story short it will not
    activate no matter what we or Microsoft's first ties support try to do. Some of the errors indicate that we are trying to input a KMS key instead of a MAK key. It has reached a point where when I click on Change Product Key or Troubleshoot nothing happens.
    I would appreciate any suggestions or advise anyone might have. Thanks in advance.

  3. Windows 10 upgrade with Windows 7 MAK Key

    Your product key won't convert to a Windows 10 product key through reactivation.

    If an organization exceeds its MAK activation limit, then its IT

    professional can contact the Activation Call Center to request

    additional activations.

    Get a MAK or KMS key by telephone through the

    Worldwide Activation Call Centers.

    Try the appropriate phone number listed here: Microsoft Activation Centers Worldwide Telephone Numbers:

    http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/existing-customers/activation-centers.aspx

    Microsoft recently announced the Get Windows 10 app would be available to volume license clients. So you should be able to download and upgrade to Windows 10 through Windows Update during this month.
