    Cannot activate Win10 Pro after Microsoft Store app purchase

    Hello guys, My laptop came pre-installed with Win10 Home 64bit and I recently purchased a Win 10/11 Pro licence from the Microsoft Store app. Unfortunately, having some issues activating the digital licence for Win10 Pro. Here is the situation:
    • Logged into Microsoft account used for the purchase (also received the email receipt of the purchase)
    • Already connected to stable internet
    What I tried so far: Entering the Win10 Pro generic key: Received error 0x800700005:
    I purchased my Windows 11 Pro upgrade in the store as instructed, how do I activate it on... 45561t-cannot-activate-win10-pro-after-microsoft-store-app-purchase-annotation-2021-10-29-043622.png
    Clicking Close returned another error 0xC004F034:

    Clicking Troubleshoot re-activated my Win10 Home so still not on Pro. Thanks for any help. [FIXED] Win 10 Pro suddenly became Win 10 Ent from MS Store app: Jump to solution - Cannot activate Win10 Pro after Microsoft Store app purchase Sources:

    Windows Pro Upgrade Purchased but Installed Windows Enterprise PLUS Failed Activation

    Yes - I was charged $99 and I have the upgrade shown as purchased in the Microsoft Store.

    Sumit's suggestion has allowed Windows to activate and I now show my installation as Windows 11 Pro. Thank you.

    Activation/upgrade from Windows 11 Pro to Windows 11 Pro for workstation

    My current PC is running on a purchased retail version of Windows 11 Pro. Recently i purchased from the MS Store the upgrade for windows 10/11 Pro for Workstations. The purchased is completed successfully and is being reflected on my MS Account online. But till today more than a week later i have no instructions of how to activate this upgrade from Windows 11 Pro to Windows 11 Pro for Workstation. I am deeply disturbed that despite calling you customer services and technical support non can render me a clear direction to resolve this upgrade issue which should have been documented easily for upgrading.
