Why was I not asked for a product key when upgrading to Win 10?

According to your spec you have Win 10 Pro, but perhaps that doesn't reflect your PC.

You haven't stated which edition of Win 10 you have on this machine, nor what your Win 10 key is for.

For example, if you already have Win 10 Pro and your key is Win 10 Home, that would be a retrograde step.

Win 10 Pro upgrade using Win 8 Pro product key

I just bought a new computer running Win 10 Home. When I went to upgrade to Win 10 Pro using my Win 8 Pro product key from my old computer, the upgrade wouldn't activate.

Now I'm stuck with a bunch of error messages (mainly 0xC004C003) and am being told windows isn't activated. I can't seem to get my activated Win 10 Home back.

I don't have a product key for the Win 10 Home because it came pre-installed. There's no product code recorded on the packaging or labelling on the device.

So:

How do I either

• activate the Win Pro upgrade, or
• Get my activated Win 10 home back?

 

Product Key Issue - Win 8.1 Pro to Win 10 Pro

Hello,

I currently run Windows 8.1 Pro and have verified that it is activated. I received the upgrade notice through Windows Update and proceeded with the upgrade. As with many, I did receive the request for a product key. However, when looking at the version
of Win 10 that was installed, I noticed that it said Window 10 HOME.

I've seen many with the issue of Win 10 asking for a product key along with the solution of waiting due to server overload. If this is the case of waiting for automatic activation, then that is no problem. I will trust the system as best I can. However,
I don't want it to activate for Home edition when I was upgrading from Pro.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and, if so, does anyone have an answer or an assurance that Win 10 will activate as Pro and not Home?

Thanks!
