Unable To Activate Pro Version After Clean Install (error Code 0xC004C003)

Jul 29, 2015

I did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro x64 using the method that everyone knows about by now that was written up on various sites today i.e.:

Ran the Media Creation Tool and upgraded my copy of Window 8.1 Professional with Windows 10 Professional. Looked in Control Panel --> System and it said my copy of Windows was activated. Then I ran the Media Creation Tool again and downloaded the ISO. Burned ISO to DVD. Restarted computer, booted into Windows installer on DVD, customized the install by formatting drive, did a fresh install of Windows 10.

Now when I go into Control Panel --> System it says "Windows not activated". When I click on the Activate Windows icon and click the error details link I get the error code: 0xC004C003.

I should note that the Windows 8 OS came pre-installed on my laptop which I bought brand new. I don't think that matters?

Updates :: Will Windows Activate Itself If Do Clean Install

Sep 14, 2015

If I understood this : clearly, then does it mean that Windows will activate itself from some Windows activation servers that are somehow written into my hardware even if I do a clean install deleting everything in my Windows partition?

Also, since the built-in "Create a Recovery Drive" will take forever or display an error when ''Backup system files to the recovery drive' is checked", I'm trying to create an Installation media. But I'm stuck with which ISO I should download. Now, there's Windows 10, Windows 10 Single Language, Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Home N. I'm running Windows 10 Home at the moment. Which was upgraded from Windows 8.1(I think there was ''Single Language'' written after "8.1", not sure though). Which Version should I download. And if I install the wrong version by chance, will Windows still activate after I find out and install the right version? Please clarify these.... I'm really looking forward to do a clean-install to get rid of all the errors and bugs with drivers and just start over.

*DETAILS: Windows 10 Home Build 10240 [Upgraded via free upgrade, had an OEM version of Windows 8.1 when first bought]

Updates :: Windows Won't Activate After Most Recent Update

Dec 23, 2015

i got a brand new computer recently that came with windows 10. i had to reinstall it a few times because of issues i thought were related to the installation (plus the first attempt asked me for a key which i didn't have, the second one didn't). i didn't activate right away. i got two BSOD in 24 hours and thought it was my computer but found out online that it's windows 10's fault so i went to update windows. the update i got took so long it almost looked like a whole new installation though it said updating. when i came home i went to activate and got this message windows is not activated as your previous version of windows on this device was not activated prior to upgrade to windows 10 error code 0x803f7001.

i am nearly 100% positive that error wasn't there before the update. how the hell can i have a previous installation when this is an windows 10 oem computer?

Updates :: Can Use Windows 7 Starter Key To Activate (home 64bit)

Jan 1, 2016

Microsoft said that with 1511 build we can now enter a Windows 7/8/8.1 licence key to activate windows 10 until july... but not so much more information whatsoever.

I have a Windows 7 starter spare product key. I guess it's 32-bit (since I never heard of 64-bit version).

I would like to know if with that key I could activate a clean copy of windows 10 home 64-bit ?

I had upgraded from W8.1 and Windows 10 was activated. I was under the impression that I didn't need a product key and that my PC would be recognized after doing a clean install. Now I have W10 installed fresh, but get the error code: Error code: 0xC004C003

Updates :: Can't Activate Upon Reinstall

Aug 23, 2015

I originally got win10 through the free upgrade from 8.1 and did the install that only replaces system files etc. Some things weren't working correctly such as the sleep function and I kept being unable to login due to the start menu and Cortana not starting, so I decided to do a reset of the OS.

I managed to reset and get a fresh install of win10 but now I can't get activation to work. I've run all the windows updates and tried the slmgr.vbs /ato command but it says my product key is blocked.

Updates :: Can't Activate OS After Replacing Failed SSD

Dec 26, 2015

My computer's SSD failed, and I just bought a SSD and installed Windows 10 on it. However, it is not activated. I originally had Windows 7, then installed Windows 8 Pro, then upgraded to Windows 10. This is all legal.

However, I ran a BIOS product key checker on my computer, and it shows that I don't have a product key in my BIOS. Is there anything I can do?

This is also quite an old machine (from 2007), would it support BIOS product key?

Updates :: Unable To Activate After Clean Install Of 10586

Feb 10, 2016

Since the Win10 Upgrade fails on my HP DV6 notebook, I decided to do a clean install.

But now, it won't take the Win7 product key for activation!!

I called MS and they told me that a clean-install will NOT activate using Win7 product keys and that I have to purchase a product key.

I got this same story from two different MS reps.

I thought you COULD activate a clean-install using Win7 key using build 10586.

Updates :: Reinstalled 3 Times Because Unstable - Now OS Won't Activate Anymore

Sep 24, 2015

I am 1 step away from throwing my laptop out of the window!

After upgrading from windows 7 to windows 10 and experiencing a whole shitload of problems with graphic card drivers and wifi connections, I decided to clean install windows 10 by using the ISO image (DVD made with the microsoft tool). After doing this windows 10 worked reasonable, for about 1 day. After this it started to crash upon startup and it was unusable. So, I decided to do have 1 more go at it and do another clean install.

What do I get ? Now windows says that it cannot activate the damn OS and that I can 'buy a product key' in the store ... Well, it was activated automatically after upgrading, then it activated automatically after a clean install as well. Now, I did another install and it won't activate.

Activate Windows After HW Changes

Aug 31, 2015

I recently upgraded my CPU, Motherboard, Ram, and HDD to SSD. I upgraded my genuine copy of windows 8.1 to windows 10 about 3 weeks prior. I didn't want to install windows 8 all over again only to then have to update to windows 10 right after. So I just cloned my HDD onto my SSD. It worked fine for a day, but now its telling me I need to activate windows.

What do I do, is there any way to activate without having to reinstall windows 8 then upgrade to windows 10? I know my windows 8 product key will not work.

How To Get New HDD To Activate Windows Without Wiping It

Feb 4, 2016

So i have 2 hard drives. one is an old one with windows 7 still on it, and the other was new with nothing on it. I took out the old one with windows 7 on it but didn't wipe it, and put in the new one. I installed windows 10 on the new one via bootable usb. Now windows says it can't activate. I've already downloaded 100gb of games and i REALLY don't want to do that again.

How can i get the new hdd to activate windows without wiping it? will the product key be the same for both versions? Can I update the old drive then swap it out with the new one and it be activated?

Activate Windows After System Upgrades?

Aug 14, 2015

how to reactivate my copy of Windows 10 if I make hardware upgrades that would make me need to format my hard drive (Motherboard, CPU, etc.). In other words say if I need a new motherboard down the road and once it is installed and I cannot boot into windows, how would I get my copy of windows 10 back after I format all the old drivers and such off and reinstall windows? Would I have to then buy a whole new copy? The only thing I could think of would install my version of windows 7, activate it, then upgrade back up to 10.

Re-activate Windows After A Hardware Change

Feb 26, 2016

I need to re-activate Windows after a hardware change and was wondering if I could purchase an OEM license and use the key it gives me to activate it? I'm aware that using an OEM key means there will be troubles upgrading in the future, however I don't plan on changes for quite some time. Bottom line: Could I buy an OEM Windows 10 and go into the store, activate it and have it work?

Updates :: Cannot Download Patches After Upgrading

Sep 26, 2015

I just upgraded my HP Envy dv7 series laptop from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 Pro. The download and installation of Windows 10 Pro went just fine. However when I attempted to check for hotfixespatches for Windows 10 after the initial install the process failed to download and install any of the identified updates. I let the process run for 12 hours and still nothing was downloaded and installed.

I have tried to stop the WUAUSERV & BITS services but get "the service is not responding to the control function" error for both services. I have also successfully downloaded the identified patches with a 3rd party tool but when I tried to install a single patch it hung and never installed and after about 10 hours I cancelled the process. I have shutdown the laptop and restarted it hoping I could then get the services to respond to the control function so I could delete the C:windowssoftwaredistribution directory and ideally get the patching process to work but even after the reboot when I tried to stop the WUAUSERV & BITS services I still get "the service is not responding to the control function" error.

I have also checked my NICs to make sure they were not set to metered, but so far I have not been able to get this process to work. I can get out to the Internet and download other updates just fine.

Any Way To Download Or Activate Standard (old) Windows Photo Viewer

Oct 25, 2015

In Windows 10, is there a way to download or activate the standard (old) windows photo viewer? The Windows 10 Photos app sucks for more reasons than I can say in one message. But the biggest problem is that it refuses to let me view my photos if I am not connected to the internet. I am in Ethiopia for a few weeks and internet is spotty. I take hundreds of pictures, transfer them to my Surface 3, then try to view them and it gives me an error and won't let me view any of them. Once I have an internet connection I can view them even though they are stored locally.

Updates :: Upgrading Turned Off System Restore

Nov 14, 2015

It was available and up to date before the upgrade. I have turned it back on. Why did the upgrade Build 10586 turn it off? I did use the Media Creation Tool to upgrade rather than wait for "my turn" with Windows Update.
