Windows 10: Windows10 activation message

I have had my laptop for 6 years and I bought it with Windows installed. When the free upgrade to Windows10 became available I updated. This last few days I am getting an error message to activate. I spent over an hour with Microsoft helpdesk and was given a new code which was not accepted by Windows10. I was told to downlaod the latest version which I did and am getting the same message. My local New Zealand technician has tried numerous routes but Windows10 will not accept any actvation key. What is wrong?

Windows 10 will not activate Error code 0x803F7001

Possibly there can be the problem with Microsoft activation Server, so your Windows 10 is not activated. In this scenario, you need to wait and verify if it is the issue from Microsoft’s side. But if you are getting error code 0x803f7001, you can also try these steps:

1. Open Settings app. Then go to Update and security > Activation screen > Change product.
2. Type your Windows edition product key and click Next.
3. You’ll get We couldn’t activate Windows error message.
4. Retry steps 1-3 then type your 25-characters unique product key.
5. Wait for the process to complete, Windows 10 is activated.

Hope something helps this problem
