    Windows 10 Home Activation, although I own Windows 10 Home and it has been activated


    I built my computer around 5 months ago and I bought a Windows 10 Home product key, and put the USB into my computer and successfully downloaded Windows 10 Home, now out of nowhere it's telling me to activate windows and that it's not a valid license or key, but I bought it from Microsoft. I tried troubleshooting but just got error code 0x8007000d and it's also giving me error code 0xC004F012 and when trying to change product key it just says the key is invalid even though it was valid before. I haven't changed any hardware besides my GPU and RAM, and I don't know if this is related but I did HWID Hardware ID spoof my components and changed the serial number of my SSD which the OS is installed on, but by restarting my computer it should've reverted the changes unless something happened, is there a cmd to check my serial numbers to make sure they weren't changed? And would that have any affect on the activation regardless?

    :)

    How long did you wait for activation?
    When I re-installed with a fresh install... it took a few hours to sync and activate.
    However, it did, finally, activate.

  3. Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

    I did a full clean install of Windows 10 a while back and it will not activate. I didn't do a clean install from Windows 7/8/8.1 it was from Windows 10 (activated) so I expected it to activate just fine since it was fine before hand.

    My Windows 10 license wasn't created from a previous Windows 7/8/8.1 key I got it from signing up to be an insider back in Nov of 2014. I installed a preview build on my laptop from the insider program and it worked just fine and it automatically upgraded to newer and newer preview builds and then to the full release automatically, fully activated and working fine. I did a full clean install not long ago (expect it to go through without issue since it was working before) and now it will not activate and I can't find any info on how to get it to activate and I can't seem to find the insider Windows 10 key.

    Microsoft online support was useless and the gave me the toll free number to tech support.. I am currently on the phone waiting, they said it could be a 1hr 30min wait.. sigh.. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

    Hi!

    I signed up in the windows insider program and got windows 10 free - the windows 10 insider preview updated to windows 10 pro.
    Today i got another SSD and did a raid 0 on my system forcing me to do a clean install of windows but now it wont activate anymore.
    Signing in with my microsoft account that was linked to the insider program didnt help.
    Maybe i got this problem since i quit the insider program for several days and signed up again after i found out that my win 10 wont activate anymore.
    Any ideas how to fix it?
