Windows 10: Activation W10 Problem

After motherboard change due to failure, I get error 0xC004F211. W10 seems to be functioning but I get a message on the home screen to Activate. Winver shows I have a valid copy of W10 registered on my computer, but the Activation Troubleshooter says it cannot find a digital license. W10 was downloaded from Microsoft as part of the free upgrade from W7/W8.1 in 2015 so I do not have a produce key. What am I doing wrong? Clark in Atlanta

W10 Activation problem


Hmmm.... if you can't get slmgr /dlv to work:

try window key + r to bring up a run dialog. Run winver in it.

Also run showkey plus from this forum:
Showkey - Windows 10 Forums

Click on the displayed product keys to blank them out automatically, the post the result. You should get something like this:

winver:




showkey:




Btw, use the snipping tool to capture the windows/screen selections. Just click the start icon and start typing snip and it will show up at the top of the list.

 

Cannot activate w10 after reinstalling W10 error 0xC004F034

I had to reset w10 when I was trying to solve the AMD Window driver problem caused by the faulty w10 1703 upgrade problem.

Now my laptop insists that I activate w10.

• It says I have w10 home installed.
• It says "We can't activate windows on this device right now.....Error code 0xC004F034
• Troubleshooter says it found a digital licence for this devise running w10 home (because this PC had a free update from w8) . To activate using this licence you need to install w10 home

Except w10 home is already installed!!!!!

I have tried "I Changed this device hardware recently". It asks me to log in but then says "Opps something went wrong... we can't add your Microsoft account to this device right now" even though I am logged in with that username.

So am stuck!

Basically, since that irritating w10 upgrade problem with 1703 that messed up attached screens on AMD devices, I have not been able to use this laptop.

Please help.

 

W10 can connect to wider internet but cannot access web pages

I have an odd issue with my W10 laptop linked to Sky broadband in the UK via wifi using a Sky router. The effect is that while I can actually access the internet (I can send and receive emails using Outlook and can connect to other machines using TeamViewer) I cannot access any web site (Google, BBC etc). There is no specific error message, merely that the access request timed out and a suggestion that it may be to do with proxy. I have tried the following:

1. Other systems (W10 and ios) can access web sites using the same Sky router (therefore probably not a router problem)
2. I have sent and received emails using Outlook, so the broadband connection is working (probably not a Sky problem)
3. I have tried two different browsers (Firefox and Edge), no connection (not a browser problem)
4. I am using Windows Defender and have:
   1. Made sure that Firefox is in the list of allowed systems in its Firewall, no connection after a reboot
   2. Turned off the Firewall and tried again - no connection

My next step will be to re-install Windows, but has anyone got any other suggestions? Could it be some sort of virus (I have carried out a complete virus check using Defender) So - any suggestions?
