    Win 10 pro activation


    Win 10 pro activation [​IMG]


    I upgraded from home to pro in June by purchasing from MS Store. Today the above message appeared on my screen. I don't recall activating it but as far as I remember, I never saw a code to enter or a place to enter it. Apparently the present code is left over from home.

    The easy - but expensive - fix would be to go buy another copy, this time on usb, which would come with a code.

    Is there a way to straighten this out with MS? Or some way to establish the code? I have a Macrium recovery usb but suspect that it would not include the code.

    Nirsoft ProduKey shows a Product ID and a Product Key for win 10 Pro.

    :)

    MSDN Win 10 Pro Activation Issues

    Here is a Microsoft paper on activation issues.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/activation-errors-windows-10

    I suggest that you use the TechNet forums for this particular issue. This forum is consumer-oriented (Win 10 Home, Pro). TechNet is IT oriented (Win 10, Pro, Enterprise, MSDN, Server 2012-R2, etc.).

    ACTIVATION WIN 10

    Hi,

    You might see this error if you entered a product key for the Enterprise edition of Windows to activate
    Windows 10 Home or
    Windows 10 Pro. Activation in Windows 10 will depend on how you got your copy of Windows.
    To find the activation method that works with your copy of Windows, kindly refer to this

    Microsoft article    .

    Check out this
    link     for a list of activation error codes and the suggested steps to troubleshoot it.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
