Windows 10: Win 10 online key activation

Hello Guys,

because I don't know who else I should ask about this problem Im coming to your community and hope that one of you is able to help me.

So I bought a Windows 10 Home key yesterday to finally get rid of the watermark I have on my new PC. I went into the options and changed the current Win10 key. That didn't work. I got the Error that I need an appropriate Win10 Key.



Afterwards I tried this command: slmgr.vbs -ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX. Here I got the Error: Winwos Error 0xC004F069 On a COmputer runing Microsoft non-core edition, run "sluiu.exe 0x2a 0xC004F069" to display the error text.



The next step I tried was: DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:ENTER-YOUR-SERIAL-KEY-HERE /AcceptEula. Here I got the error 50, telling me that the chosing of an edition doesnt get supported by Online displays.



I hope that someone will be able to help me and tell me which step I should try next.



Thanks for the help in advance.

windows 10 key

Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?

My experience with TechNet keys is they can be installed and activated on more then 1 pc at a time. Windows 10 has screwed this up for me. I put Windows 7 Home Premium (Technet key) on a bare hdd in my main rig. I activated it and then upgraded it to Windows 10 Home. I got the Win 10 key with Magic jellybean and then did a format and clean install a couple of times to make sure it's all good. The main rig is activated and doing fine.

So I put a bare hdd in another pc here and installed Windows 7 HP with the same TechNet key. Guess what? IT WILL NOT ACTIVATE Win 7 now on that pc. It may or may not activate Win 7 again on my main rig. *Wtf :wtf:

I am aware that Win 7/8 Home upgrades to Win 10 Home in oem form, but beware! It appears MS does gimp the TechNet keys from a retail to oem configuration if you upgrade it to Win 10. I didn't expect to get my Win 10 upgrade to activate on any other rig then my main rig (I did try, it didn't work), but I didn't expect it to gimp the Win 7 TechNet key, but it did. *Cry :cry:

magic jellybean won't help you. The key is a generic key and the HWID is logged at microsofts activation servers, making your mobo your activation key, not your serial. You CAN'T just move the install, at least not without contacting support with a legit RETAIL windows 7/8 license.
