Windows 10: Windows 10 Activation failed even after 24h wait

first did u complete the upgrade ? (to pro N)
because by the time upgrade been registered to MS server
it register your HWID to that version windows
and sofar there no way to change windows version after that...

beside changing HWID by modding bios? so it look new hard to MS server
or purchasing new retail key

 

His Hardware ID should not have been saved on MS activation servers because he never got a successful activation.

 

Hi there

Quite simply you have to READ the qualifying material --if you don't qualify then (Horror of Horrors !!!) You actually have to PAY for it !!!!!.

And BTW if you download a pre-activated version of W8/W8.1 /W7 from a torrent site or use one of those "Activation things" from the torrents your W10 won't be activated either !!! You must use a LEGAL activated qualifying OS to get the upgrade. After installation you can THEN do a clean update if you want to.

No, the N version is one required in some European countries that required Windows to be distributed without some bundled multimedia software (like Windows Media Player). (The multimedia stuff is available as a free download.)

I'm a little surprised that 8.1 Enterprise can be upgraded to 10 Pro N. I'm not at all surprised that 10 installed that way won't activate with the free upgrade.

If memory serves, no Enterprise upgrades are offered through the Media Creation Tool. I doubt that it supports pirated copies, either.

(edited: without some bundled...)

 

You're right. My mistake! I thought I was wrong once - but I was mistaken. Still can't upgrade an Enterprise version for free though

 

ahh i missed few things sorry
so yes, enterprise is different from pro and home

well it make sense anyway... enterprise isnt mean for single/end user
if a company upgrading their OS then they buy new license... then seed the new license to all pc in their company
