    Surface Pro 3 Windows 10 Enterprise Unactivated


    A while back I bought a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 off of eBay for £180. It was all fine until about Friday 9th of November 2018, when the copy of Windows deactivated itself. It says that it cannot reach the organisations activation server.


    I'm unsure what to do. It doesn't affect me much, but it is annoying when watching stuff on YouTube, playing games, and making Content, as when video recording, you don't want a Windows Activation thing in the corner.

    :)

    Downgrading Windows 10 enterprise to pro


    The procedure is a bit arcane, but I have managed to convert an Enterprise Evaluation to Pro, doing it in two steps: EnterpriseEval to Enterprise (unactivated); then Enterprise (unactivated) to Pro. Details here.

    (Note to the moderator/owner: apologies if this is not an appropriate post for this thread, in which case I thank you for deleting it. I posted only to update/correct the assertion quoted above.)

    Surface Pro 3 Windows 10 Enterprise Unactivated

    Windows 10 on Surface Pro 3


    Just upgraded my Surface Pro 3 to Windows 10.

    Now I have no network connections. The wireless drivers and the docking station drivers are all there.

    I have tried uninstall and reinstall the drivers for both Marvell and Surface ethernet adapter and still nothing.

    Anyone have any suggestions?
