  1. Windows 10 Reinstall - Error 0x803fa067


    I wanted to do a clean installation because my drives were full and couldn't be bothered with uninstalling a lot of applications.

    Windows won't activate. This is an Alienware laptop that had Windows 10 Home edition when i bought it new. The product key i retrieved by using ProduKey gives me the error code 0x803FA067.


    Settings -> Update & Security -> Activation : i get the following message:


    The last product key (ID: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX) you entered can't be used on this copy of Windows. (0x803FA067)


    - Automatically troubleshooting doesn't work.

    - Yes, i installed the right windows edition.


    I've used "Reset this PC" and then removed all the files. Windows got stuck on a loop with "Why did my PC restart?" and kept also going to keyboard and language screen. I then used an USB and the windows tool to install Windows instead.


    What now?


    From one problem to problem to another problem. The problems don't seem to end.

    :)

    Activation/Upgrade Error 0x803fa067

    I tried to Updgrade my windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro.
    I tried it with the default key that upgrades Windows 10 to pro without activating it(which is done in the second step).

    The Universal-Key for Windows 10 Pro which is published by Microsoft is VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T. I tried that one but I get the error 0x803fa067.

    I first tried it with the Windows 10 Settings using the Change Product Key Button in the Activation "Tab" And second with the command slmgr.vbs -ipk VK7JG-...
    Both methods werent succesfull.

    What the error originally means is: you don't have a digital licence or a valid Product Key.
    I guess either the newly bought laptop was delivered with a fraudulent license( then microsoft is bluntly lying to me)

    or the error message isn't quite correct. In this case I would go with my second guess

    I am not sure why this Problem occures, so my question is: why do I get the Error 0x803fa067?
    I am aware of the fact that I could reinstall Windows 10 Pro(which is the way I will probably do it) but I am intrigued to know how I could resolve the Problem without spending those extra 15 minutes.

  3. Error 0x803FA067

    Hi all

    This is my scenario:

    I upgraded a couple of years ago from Windows 8.1 Home OEM to Windows 10 Home.

    Now I'm trying to update from Win 10 Home to Win 10 PRO using the general PK VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T as suggested in many posts. I've a valid OEM Windows 10 Pro PK to insert after upgrading procedure. When I start the upgrade procedure, I get this
    message: Is not possible activate Windows in this PC because you don't have a digital licence or a valid PK. The error code is 0x803FA067.

    When I open Setting=>Activation I find "Windows is active with a digital licence connected to your Microsoft Account".

    Any suggestion?

    Thanks in advance

    Claudio

    [Solved] Windows 10 keeps reinstalling KB3119142

    I noticed quite some time ago that KB3119142 (Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Update 4 Redistributable Package) kept reinstalling itself for some reason. At least once daily. Sometimes up to several times a day. I just ignored it. It didn't seem to be doing any harm. And I figured they'd eventually fix it. Well...days turned into weeks, weeks into months, with no end to the problem in sight. It dragged on unsolved for at least the last few months. Literally reinstalling itself hundreds of(at least a hundred, felt like more) times in that period of time.

    So I finally googled it a couple days ago. And just got around to fixing it today. Which appears to have worked. And it couldn't have been easier to do. I feel so stupid to have let it intimidate me for so long.*Oops! Windows 10 Reinstall - Error 0x803fa067 :oops:
    Below are links to the thread that I got the fix idea from, and the official MS support info page for KB3119142(from which I quoted the above).
