Activation/Upgrade Error 0x803fa067

I tried to Updgrade my windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro.
I tried it with the default key that upgrades Windows 10 to pro without activating it(which is done in the second step).

The Universal-Key for Windows 10 Pro which is published by Microsoft is VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T. I tried that one but I get the error 0x803fa067.

I first tried it with the Windows 10 Settings using the Change Product Key Button in the Activation "Tab" And second with the command slmgr.vbs -ipk VK7JG-...
Both methods werent succesfull.

What the error originally means is: you don't have a digital licence or a valid Product Key.
I guess either the newly bought laptop was delivered with a fraudulent license( then microsoft is bluntly lying to me)





or the error message isn't quite correct. In this case I would go with my second guess

I am not sure why this Problem occures, so my question is: why do I get the Error 0x803fa067?
I am aware of the fact that I could reinstall Windows 10 Pro(which is the way I will probably do it) but I am intrigued to know how I could resolve the Problem without spending those extra 15 minutes.

 

Having trouble activating windows, Error: 0x803fa067

Can you remember whether the Windows version with the old hardware was Home or Pro?

More suggestions:

Activate Your Windows 10 by Phone

To activate your Win 10 by phone, follow these steps:

Windows logo key + R -> Type ‘Slui 4’ into the Run box -> Enter

Select your Country/Region from the list -> Next

You will be given a toll-free phone number -> Use this number to get your confirmation ID -> Activate

Note: Regrettably, this fix will not work if Windows 10 comes pre-installed on your PC.

Unable to activate on clean Install of Windows 10 after replacing hard drive (Error 0x803fa067)

Hi,

I've tried various suggested solutions to this problem with no luck so far, any help would be greatly appreciated..

I had Windows 8 pre-installed on my laptop which I upgraded for free to Windows 10. My hard drive failed so I installed Windows 10 Pro to hard drive number 2 and activated successfully using Produkey.

Now after this 2nd hard drive has failed I have installed Windows 10 Pro on my 3rd hard drive but I am now unable to activate using the key displayed in Produkey.

I receive the error 0x803fa067 when attempting to Change Product Key from settings.

Any advice would be a great help.

Thanks,

Darren
