Windows 10: when i try activate it gives me error code 0x80041023

Hi,
I have been trying to activate my windows 10, i have a product key and when i try activate it gives me error code 0x80041023.
Anyone getting this error code. I need some help.

:)

 

Windows 10 says "Activate Windows"

Upon trying to do this it gives the error code 0x80041023 and says that the code is invalid which dosent make sense to me as this was the code on the bottom of the laptop on the win 7 home prem sticker

 

Windows 10 Activation error code 0x803F7001

My old computer had a hard disk malfunction and with black Friday around I built a new computer to replace my old one. After I reinstalled windows 7 off the disk of my original computer and upgraded to windows 10 again it wont activate. I've been given the
Error Code 0x803F7001 and after I try to use the original product key it gives the Error Code 0x80041023

 

Thanks navyLCDR but mine was not an upgrade, i bought my laptop and the Windows 10 was installed, i have no idea what OS was inbuilt.

 

Oops. Posted response in wrong thread.... sorry

 

I would start by running showkey plus from this forum. Click on the product keys and they will blank out so you can post the results here.
Showkey - Windows 10 Forums

Then open a command prompt (admin) and run:
slmgr /dlv

You can also post those results here, there is no uniquely identifying information in the results. Then we might be able to help more.

 

Thanks, i have used the showkey. i will try again later. Thanks I will post the result on this forum

 

Sounds like permissions corruption from the error code. Try running sfc / scannow from cmd prompt.
That probably won't fix the cause but will validate the reason for the error.
