    Win 10 pro activation


    Hi. Simple question. Can I use the product key from a recently purchased version of win 10 pro to activate an already installed but needing activation version of Win 10 pro or do I have to install the new copy to use the new key?

    Thanks

    :)

    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.
