Windows 10: upgraded pc from 8.1 to win10 it wont activate now ??????

why wont it activate i used the media creation tool

:)

 

Upgraded PC win7 to win10 tried to install image activation not valid?


Ok so I followed the guide step by step
I installed programs using chocoltey, I installed office2016 and adobe cloud, I installed photoshop, dreamweaver, I set a default theme, I edited the policy settings to lock down the PC I set the start menu and lock screen images, I uninstalled most of the windows apps, I installed avast business and disabled until reboot

this is my sysprep working as I expected




I created an image file then restarted the machine and get this error




guess its back to the drawing board

 

Windows 10 Wont Activate after upgrade

I had used the mediacreationtool to upgrade my pc. Will waiting 24 hours still work with it?

 

Newbie needs advice moving Win8.1 ==> Win10


In your shoes I would

1. Take a backup of the OS drive with Macrium Reflect, as suggested
2. Download the ISO and do an Upgrade install (step 7 in this tutorial)

Macrium gives you a way back if the upgrade doesn't work, and I also think that doing an Upgrade install is probably likely to be your quickest route to being activated on Windows 10 by the deadline.

Once activated, you can consider doing a clean install later but without the time pressure.
