    Windows 10 Pro activation on new machine not working


    So I have digital license of Win 10 pro tied to my hotmail. After I built new PC using the same hard drive, not a single suggested solution to fix this, like selecting the "I've changed hardware" worked, and it doesn't even display my previous machine, I can see on the website.Now I've tried some that you reset the key all together, and it's supposed to fetch it via your email, not happening, still "Activate windows" watermark.If use winver on the search bar, I get:Microsoft WindowsVersion 22H2 OS Build 19045. 4412C Microsoft Corporation"This product is licensed under the Microsoft Software

    :)

    Activate Windows.10 on new machine

    My window machine totally not functioning. I get another machine and hoping to activate Windows using the faulty machine Windows product code which is Windows 8 pro (upgraded to Windows 10).

    However, i can't get it activated on the new machine. I contacted mircosoft customer service, and gathered that its not possible to use Windows 8 pro product key on another machine..

    He is confirmed the since my machine is totally not usageble the windows 8 pro product key will be useless.

    But I thought we can transfer our product code to another new machine as long the product code is activated on only one machine at anytime.

    Can anyone confirm this?

    Activation and Re-activation of Windows 10 Pro VM (VirtualBox, OSX Host) not working

    I've moved a working and activated Windows 10 Pro VM (VirtualBox) from a Windows 10 Host to an OSX Host. The re-activation of the is not Working (Error Code 0xC004C003). I also moved a Windows 7 Pro VM that reactivate without problems. I tried everything
    mentioned in the process to activate. Nothing works or even outputs some useful hint or support contact.

    • used another (afaik unused) product key. not working! Same Error Code.
    • created a new VM and installed a fresh Windows 10 pro. The new machine can not be activated!

    Thus this seems to be a problem within the crappy M$ activation system.

    Any useful hint how to activate this M$ crap would be highly appreciated.
