    Windows 10 Pro Activation Problems


    Hello folks,


    I'm having problems activating Windows 10 Pro on my newly built PC. Please help me. I need this computer to be functional by Saturday.


    Issue: I cannot activate my Windows 10 Pro digital license.


    My knowledge level

    This is my first time installing an OS on a custom PC. It is possible I am making a very simple mistake. Detailed explanations and step-by-step instructions are appreciated.


    Background

    I installed Windows 10 from a USB stick which I prepared using the installation media creating tool from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 . As far as I can tell, everything went well. I was able to install the OS and connect to the internet.


    I purchased a Windows 10 Pro digital license from the Microsoft Store App through my PC. I clicked the install button as indicated after the purchase confirmation window and then attempted to activate my copy of Windows 10. I received a notification that my software had been successfully activated, but for "Windows 10 Home" and not "Windows 10 Pro".


    I thought maybe I was missing an update which was causing problems, so I checked for any available updates and installed them. After restarting my computer, my activation state reverted to un-activated. Even more confusingly, my Windows specifications page now states that my edition is "Windows 10 Enterprise".


    Any help is thoroughly appreciated. I've never asked for advice from a forum like this and am not sure what to expect. Thanks in advance.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Activation Error: 0xC004F034

    Hi Greg,

    This error code is usually caused by a problem with the product key. For better assistance, we would like to clarify how you got the Windows 10 Pro? Is it supplied by a company?

    As an initial troubleshooting step, we suggest that you run the Activation troubleshooter and try activating Windows 10 Pro again. To run the Activation troubleshooter, follow these steps:

    • Click the Start button and select the Settings
      icon.
    • Choose Update & Security from the list.
    • Select Activation in the left pane of the window.
    • Click Troubleshoot.

    If your Windows 10 Pro is supplied by a company, we recommend that you get in touch with your organization's support for assistance with the activation.

    We'll be waiting to your reply.

    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.

    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.
