    Windows 10 pro not activated automatically after reinstall


    When I bought my laptop, it came with preinstalled windows 10 pro. I was told that the product key for windows is coded in motherboard and it will activate windows automatically whenever I reinstall the windows. I recently reinstalled windows on my laptop but it has not activated. Whenever I troubleshoot for this, I get "We weren't able to activate windows on this device.". Also I get error 0xC004F213 and states "Windows reported that no product key was found on this device." How can I solve this issue?

    :)

    Should I buy Windows 10 Home or Pro?

    I bought a win 10 pro oem key for £25, changed my motherboard and cpu, and reinstalled windows, and it activated automatically. So I would say why not buy pro?

    From here-
    https://softwaregeeks.co.uk/product/windows-10-pro/

    Was near enough instant delivery of key by email, and it activated on my original install, and on a clean install with changed hardware. Can't say fairer than that for £25

    This online store looks cheap. You don't want to know how much OEM keys or other software prices are in my country. lol

    Windows 10 pro not activated automatically after reinstall

    Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

    I did a full clean install of Windows 10 a while back and it will not activate. I didn't do a clean install from Windows 7/8/8.1 it was from Windows 10 (activated) so I expected it to activate just fine since it was fine before hand.

    My Windows 10 license wasn't created from a previous Windows 7/8/8.1 key I got it from signing up to be an insider back in Nov of 2014. I installed a preview build on my laptop from the insider program and it worked just fine and it automatically upgraded to newer and newer preview builds and then to the full release automatically, fully activated and working fine. I did a full clean install not long ago (expect it to go through without issue since it was working before) and now it will not activate and I can't find any info on how to get it to activate and I can't seem to find the insider Windows 10 key.

    Microsoft online support was useless and the gave me the toll free number to tech support.. I am currently on the phone waiting, they said it could be a 1hr 30min wait.. sigh.. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
