Windows 10: Windows 10 Home Activation problem 0x803FA067

So i had a some sort of 3rd party program activated Windows 10 Pro im not sure about if it was Pro and then i bought a Windows 10 Home key, i tried clean reinstalling the OS to Windows 10 Home several times, tried changing the Windows version in regedit, tried slmgr -rearm in cmd but nothing seems to work. Any other ways to fix this problem without contacting the support?

Activation/Upgrade Error 0x803fa067

I tried to Updgrade my windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro.
I tried it with the default key that upgrades Windows 10 to pro without activating it(which is done in the second step).

The Universal-Key for Windows 10 Pro which is published by Microsoft is VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T. I tried that one but I get the error 0x803fa067.

I first tried it with the Windows 10 Settings using the Change Product Key Button in the Activation "Tab" And second with the command slmgr.vbs -ipk VK7JG-...
Both methods werent succesfull.

What the error originally means is: you don't have a digital licence or a valid Product Key.
I guess either the newly bought laptop was delivered with a fraudulent license( then microsoft is bluntly lying to me)





or the error message isn't quite correct. In this case I would go with my second guess

I am not sure why this Problem occures, so my question is: why do I get the Error 0x803fa067?
I am aware of the fact that I could reinstall Windows 10 Pro(which is the way I will probably do it) but I am intrigued to know how I could resolve the Problem without spending those extra 15 minutes.

 

Having trouble activating windows, Error: 0x803fa067

Can you remember whether the Windows version with the old hardware was Home or Pro?

More suggestions:

Activate Your Windows 10 by Phone

To activate your Win 10 by phone, follow these steps:

Windows logo key + R -> Type ‘Slui 4’ into the Run box -> Enter

Select your Country/Region from the list -> Next

You will be given a toll-free phone number -> Use this number to get your confirmation ID -> Activate

Note: Regrettably, this fix will not work if Windows 10 comes pre-installed on your PC.

Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

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.
