    Cannot activate Win10 Pro after Microsoft Store app purchase

    Hello guys,

    My laptop came pre-installed with Win10 Home 64bit and I recently purchased a Win 10/11 Pro licence from the Microsoft Store app. Unfortunately, having some issues activating the digital licence for Win10 Pro.

    Here is the situation:
    • Logged into Microsoft account used for the purchase (also received the email receipt of the purchase)
    • Already connected to stable internet

    What I tried so far:

    Entering the Win10 Pro generic key:



    Received error 0x800700005:


    Unable to activate Windows 10 Pro that I purchased from Microcenter and Microsoft technical... [​IMG]


    Clicking Close returned another error 0xC004F034:


    Unable to activate Windows 10 Pro that I purchased from Microcenter and Microsoft technical... [​IMG]


    Clicking Troubleshoot re-activated my Win10 Home so still not on Pro.

    Thanks for any help.


    [FIXED]

    Win 10 Pro suddenly became Win 10 Ent from MS Store app:

  3. Can't upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Pro

    Hi Bill,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. We apologize for the inconvenience caused and will assist you in the best possible ways.

    I suggest you to download and create an installation media for Windows 10 Pro form the link provided below:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10

    After the installation media is created, suggest you to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro from the installation media. When the upgrade asks for product key, enter the product key purchased for Windows 10 Pro. If it does not accept, suggest you to skip the activation
    step. After the Operating System is installed, suggest you to activate by phone by following the steps below:

    • Press “Windows key + R” and type “slui 4” and press Enter.
    • Select the Region from the list and click Next.
    • Call the Toll-Free number provided on top and can activate via phone.

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
