    Windows suddenly deactivated, claims Pro key is Home key


    Hi


    After using my Windows 10 Pro install for about 18 month, my copy of Windows has suddenly deactivated, error code 0xC004F034. The exact error when using the troubleshoot feature is that the key is for 10 Home, not 10 Pro. However, this key is definitely for a Pro installation, and it as mentioned, was working fine for at least 18 month before it has now suddenly deactivated.


    Any one have any ideas how to resolve this?

    Cheers!

    :)

    Windows 8.1 pro + WMC key activation

    So it will be fine installing 8.1 pro with a KMS key, then switch to my 8 pro key and it will activate ok?

    Maybe a daft question but why can't you just install 8.1 pro with the 8 pro key, or is it different keys for 8 and 8.1? seems silly when 8.1 is a free update anyway.

    Your reply is bullcrap, seriously. WMC doesn't change windows 8 key. Windows 8 key is windows 8 key, wmc key is wmc key

    Windows 8.1 pro + WMC key activation

    This worked for me last time with a Win 8 key.

    Install Windows 8.1 and enter KMS key during setup. Once in windows change product key to my Windows 8 key. Go to add features and enter my WMC add-on key. Drink a beer to a job well done.
