Windows 10: Windows 10 Pro N Activation

Computer says that Windows is not activated. Says "We Can't activate Windows on this device as we can't connect to your organization's activation server. Make sure you're connected to your organization's network and try again..." Error code: 0xC004F074

Doesn't make any sense to me because I've never owned or worked in an organization so I have no idea why it's saying this. Have tried many Product keys but none of them have worked. Just keeps telling me to connect to my organizations network. I bought the computer off of someone else so I dont know if that has anything to do with it. Maybe it's not a legal copy of Windows? I have no idea. Please help.

Windows 10 Pro N Activation

I've recently bought a Windows 10 pro activation key after downloading and installing Windows 10 pro N. I've not managed to activate windows and so I'd like to know if Microsoft has specific keys for Windows 10 pro N or if a normal Windows 10 pro key should
work on the pro N edition?

If it is the case that Windows 10 pro N has specific activation keys, is there an easy way to swap between editions?

 

Windows 10 Pro N Activation

Hi blackluster117

Where did you purchase the Activation code form, was that from the Microsoft Store or a 3rd party retailer?

Are you sure the Licence you purchased is for Windows 10 Pro N?

Then only real difference between the N version and the straight Windows Pro version is Windows Media Player is not installed by default . ..
