    Windows refuses to activate


    Hello, i bought windows 10 key from a friend, about a month ago. Right away i checked if it worked, and it did (showed as windows 10 Home edition, valid key). It was unused for about a month. Last week, i tried installing windows 10 on my laptop. Everything worked fine, i entered the key, it was (probably somehow) validated. After reboot and logging into windows i noticed the "Activate windows" watermark. i went into settings and the error showed up: 0x803F7001

    After trying troubleshooting it adviced me to buy license from the store. I searched for method to "bind" key to my MS account, but without success.

    Is there any way to somehow recover the product key?

    :)
