Windows 10: Windows 10 Pro Activation Error 0xc004f050

We purchased a license of Windows 10 Professional from NewEgg.com. We received the download link and product key via email. I used the Microsoft Windows media creation tool and created a USB drive to boot from and install Windows 10. During the install, I was never prompted to select what version I wanted either Home or Pro. The install just ran through and brought me to a desktop running Windows 10 Home. I have tried to "change the product key" but I get the error message "The product key you entered didn't work. Check the product key and try again, or enter a different one. (0xc004f050)"


I also tried entering a know valid volume license product key but I get the same message.

Windows 10 Activation Error: 0xc004f050

I have performed a clean install on a new hard drive of Windows 10 Home and cannot activate. I get error 0xc004f050.

The original upgrade was from Windows 8 Pro, which I used the Windows 10 upgrade application and received an email on July 21st that my reservation was confirmed.

During the clean install, I skipped the step to enter the code.

Is this because I am installing Windows 10 Home instead of Pro? Is there a way to activate this currently installed version?

We will need a lot more info bud, see Activation troubleshooting - Windows 10 Forums

Run either tool - we just need some basic info to begin with.

May be a key/edition mismatch...
