  2. Product key on refurbished computer

    Hello, I recently purchased a refurbished computer that has Windows 10 Pro on it; my old computer the mother board is going on it and has Windows 10 Home. I tried activating Windows on my refurbished computer using my old Windows Home product key, but to
    no avail. When I try to change the product key, the response I get is: "The product key you entered didn't work. Check the product key and try again, or enter a different one. (0xc004f050)" Is there a way to do this? I have a perfectly good product key
    on via my old computer, that I should be able to use and not have to purchase a whole new one. Thanks in advance!

  3. refurbished computer upgrade to windows 10

    Hi,

    I purchased a refurbished computer for my daughter from Walmart.com

    She is trying to upgrade to Windows 10, but it keeps saying "This product key didn't work" but it is the exact product key from the sticker.

    Any suggestions?

    If it is officially refurbished it should have its own licence key. See the section
    Activate a refurbished device running Windows 10

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/12440/windows-10-activate

    The new device is Windows 10 Pro your old one is Windows 10 Home. You cannot use the Home key to activate Pro.
