Windows 10: Windows 10 Pro activation error , months after free upgrade from Windows 7 Pro.

Hello there,


I had a Windows 7 Pro on my laptop, working perfectly until I got the suggestion for free upgrade to Windows 10 which eventually became a " you-have-to-do -t". Anyway, I did it and it automatically was upgraded to Windows 10 Pro. It was working normal until some months ago that asked me to activate the Windows.


I got/still get the error 0xC004F074 stating that I have to connect to my organization server !!! I'm not affiliated to any organization except my university. My laptop came with Windows 7 Pro as it was a gift from a friend in Cisco. So my guess is by "your organization" it means Cisco ?1, however, I have been using this laptop for over 5 years now and I have no connection whatsoever to Cisco.


I have tried a million ways suggested online or even in this forum but I still can't get it to work and it's really frustrating. I also tried to get help online which ended up to "Call me back" option and no one from the support team contacted me. I resisted to change my Windows 7 as long as I could because I knew something would go wrong and I proved me right.


Anyways, I appreciate it if anyone could help me with any new approaches considering my explanation.


Thanks a lot!

Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.

 

Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

I bought Windows 7 Pro OEM key from G2Play.net for 12€ to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro - worked like a charm but be advised if you buy a OEM key you can not download the Win 7 iso from microsoft and have to get it elsewhere.
