    Same Windows version, but can't activate


    Hi!
    I recently switched to a PC from a laptop and installed Windows 10 using Bootable USB Media Creation Tool. I installed it logged in with my ID, but I expected it to digitally activate it, but somehow, it did not. When I clicked on Troubleshoot, it said that the Windows version I'm using is not similar to what is on my old laptop, although both are Windows 10 Pro. I've attached the screenshots, too.

    My PC specifications:-
    Device name: DESKTOP-U81T7OM
    Processor: IntelR CoreTM i5-9400F CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz
    Installed RAM: 8.00 GB
    Device ID:
    Product ID:
    System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

    Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display


    Please help.

    Build 10240 - Any expiry on ACTIVATED versions??


    I was going to do that for my benefit because of the way I have my partitions setup and to be legal with the EULA that isn't a step by step instruction. Right now I am waiting to see if build 10240 is actually the release build and yes I know at lot of people don't believe 10240 is the release version. I still may need to do that if build 10240 is not the release version.
