    Upgraded from Windows 10 Home to Enterprise. Cannot find Product Key. Cannot Activate Windows


    Good Day,


    On 3/20/2020 my company purchased a new HP laptop for me to use. The laptop was purchased at Office Depot.


    Windows 10 Home was preloaded. On 3/23/2020 I purchased an upgrade to Windows 10 Enterprise. I have the Order Details, Order Number, etc., that was emailed to me confirming my upgrade purchase.


    Under Settings > About the Windows specifications read:


    Edition: Windows 10 Enterprise

    Version: 1903

    Installed on: 3/23/2020

    OS Build: 18362.778


    In the lower right corner of my desktop I continue to have the "Activate Windows" watermark.


    I cannot get Win10 Enterprise to activate. I cannot find the product key. My emailed receipt has no instructions or buttons to "download here" or "activate here" ... etc.


    I'm at a dead end. I appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

  2. Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

    DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 NOW - Upgrade and ISO direct from microsoft

    this search might help you https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sou...o+to+get+it+activated+windows+10+blocked+keys

    From http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/why-activate-windows-10

    If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free and ended up in a non-activated state, try following these steps:

    • Go to Start
      Upgraded from Windows 10 Home to Enterprise.  Cannot find Product Key.  Cannot Activate Windows [​IMG]
      , then select Settings > Update & security > Activation.
    • Select Go to Store, and check to see if a valid license is available for your device. If a license isn't available, you'll need to buy Windows from the Store.

      Note
      • This only applies if you haven't made changes to the hardware for your device.

    or you could hack it with a crack but please note this is always risky and you don't know what's in the hack

    windows 10 key

    You need to upgrade the first time around. Once you upgrade, you can use that key for a clean installation. I've done 2 clean installations with my Windows 7 key since I upgraded to 10 the first time around.
