    Bought Windows 10 Pro, Updated to 11 Pro via Windows Update. Now 11 Pro Says Not Activated


    My PC is an HP Omen 30L, which came with Win10 Home. I upgraded to Pro last year via Microsoft Store. Last week, I updated to 11 Pro via Windows Update. Out of the blue today, 11 is deactivated and has the Activation nag watermark in the lower right corner of my desktop. When I enter the activation key that I received upon upgrading to 10 Pro, it rejects it with error code 0x80070005.I have the email MS sent me after I upgraded my original 10 installation from Home to Pro last year. What do I need to do from here?

    :)

    Windows 8.1 pro + WMC key activation

    I was considering buying a WMC pro add on for my windows 8.1 pro install, but have googled and found some people had trouble activating it. Has anyone on here got any experience with this.

    As to my install, I have a real Windows 8 pro key. So I installed windows 8 pro using a MSDN retail .iso which was activated soon as it finished installing , then I updated to .1 pro.

    When you buy the WMC add on, it changes your key, I have read some people have had trouble activating it, now mine activates from windows, I hate doing the phone activation crap, so I don't want to have to do that after the WMC add on finishes installing.

    The question is, what happens to my windows 8 pro key, is it still usable? and how would i go about if I had to reinstall? would it have to be-

    Install win 8 pro-update to 8.1-install WMC add on, or could i use a windows 8.1 pro with WMC disc?

    Thanks guys

    Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

    I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.
