  1. Need to un-activate non-genuine Windows license and activate Windows 10 Pro


    Hello,


    1. I have a couple of items I need to accomplish. I recently built a new PC and upon building, I had initially used a non-genuine version of Windows 10. I've tried to hard reset my PC, use the Media Creation Tool, and other options, but I'm unable to remove this license completely from my PC.


    2. I do have a Windows 10 Home version that I wanted to install on this machine, but upon trying to resolve problem #1, I had upgraded that version to Windows 10 Pro. However, it doesn't look like my version actually upgraded even after I received my confirmation email.


    Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated. I've scoured the web looking for resolutions to the 1st problem, and all have failed.


    Thank you

    Jordan

    :)

    How long did you wait for activation?
    When I re-installed with a fresh install... it took a few hours to sync and activate.
    However, it did, finally, activate.

  3. Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

    I did a full clean install of Windows 10 a while back and it will not activate. I didn't do a clean install from Windows 7/8/8.1 it was from Windows 10 (activated) so I expected it to activate just fine since it was fine before hand.

    My Windows 10 license wasn't created from a previous Windows 7/8/8.1 key I got it from signing up to be an insider back in Nov of 2014. I installed a preview build on my laptop from the insider program and it worked just fine and it automatically upgraded to newer and newer preview builds and then to the full release automatically, fully activated and working fine. I did a full clean install not long ago (expect it to go through without issue since it was working before) and now it will not activate and I can't find any info on how to get it to activate and I can't seem to find the insider Windows 10 key.

    Microsoft online support was useless and the gave me the toll free number to tech support.. I am currently on the phone waiting, they said it could be a 1hr 30min wait.. sigh.. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Need to un-activate non-genuine Windows license and activate Windows 10 Pro

    Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

    Hi!

    I signed up in the windows insider program and got windows 10 free - the windows 10 insider preview updated to windows 10 pro.
    Today i got another SSD and did a raid 0 on my system forcing me to do a clean install of windows but now it wont activate anymore.
    Signing in with my microsoft account that was linked to the insider program didnt help.
    Maybe i got this problem since i quit the insider program for several days and signed up again after i found out that my win 10 wont activate anymore.
    Any ideas how to fix it?
