    Windows 10 Pro says I cant activate it. Error code: 0xC004F074


    I bought Windows when I first built my computer (Windows 8 I believe) and upgraded to Windows 10 for free. Later (not sure how long), I kept getting pop-up messages saying my windows license was going to expire and I need to activate windows. I didn't see why i'd get that message since I bought a copy of windows and not a subscription or anything. So I looked for fixes for that and saw a few other people with that issue and no fix.


    Eventually, my windows gave a pop-up message in the lower right corner on the screen saying I need to activate windows and it doesn't go away.


    I used the trouble shoot activation option in update & security, and it said I have a Windows 10 Home activation key on a Windows 10 Pro download. I don't know how that happened but I have no idea how to fix this issue without buying another copy of Windows. Since I've already purchased two for this one computer, I don't want to buy a third.

    :)
