Windows 10: Unable to activate Windows 10 Education on home computer

My home computer crashed in 2022. The person fixing the computer upgraded my computer to Windows 10 Education. I am not affiliated with any school or institution, I work at home. I have been unable to activate my Windows 10 because it keeps saying "we can't activate Windows on this device as we can't connect to your organization's activation server. Make sure you are connected to your organization's network." How do I go about activated my Windows 10? Should I buy a new Windows 10?

Windows Activation Error: 0x8007007B on edition Windows 10 Pro Education

Hi, my name is Kelly, and I'm an independent consultant and I'm here to help.

It sounds like you are having trouble activating your copy of Windows 10 Pro Education, and are receiving the error message "0x8007007B" which indicates that your computer is having trouble connecting to the activation server.

It's possible that the Windows 10 Pro Education product key you used is not a valid one or has already been activated by someone else, which is why you are unable to activate Windows.

However, since you mentioned that your PC was given to you as a reward for good academic performance, it's possible that your copy of Windows 10 Pro Education is managed by your educational institution or organization. In that case, you may need to contact the IT department of your educational institution or organization and request assistance with activating Windows.

Alternatively, you can try the following steps to troubleshoot the activation issue:

Make sure that your computer is connected to the internet, and that you have a stable and active connection.

Check the date and time settings on your computer, and ensure that they are accurate.

Try activating Windows using a different internet connection, such as a different network or a mobile hotspot.

If none of the above steps work, try running the "slmgr" command in Command Prompt to manually activate Windows. Open Command Prompt as an administrator, and type the following command: "slmgr /ato".

If none of these steps work, it's best to contact your educational institution or organization's IT support for further assistance. They should be able to help you resolve the activation issue and ensure that your copy of Windows is properly licensed.
