I recently built a new pc, and have gone through this process a couple of times but I keep getting an error code when trying to input my W10 key.
Steps I Took:
Old PC:
1. Opened Command Prompt as Administrator
2. Located my Windows 10 Key, was fully working, no issues.
3. Typed: slmgr /upk to remove the current product key.
4. Notification: Uninstalled product key successfully.
5. Typed: slmgr /cpky to remove it from registry.
6. Notification: Product key from registry cleared successfully.
7. Reset PC (removed all files, apps, programs, cleaned drives, fresh install of windows)
New PC:
8. Opened Command Prompt as Administrator
9. Typed: slmgr /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx replacing required fields with my 25-digit product key.
10. Notification: Installed product key.
11. Typed: slmgr /dlv to verify liscence.
12. Notification: Window with various information, partial licence key ending in 8HVX7, status: Notification
13. Went to Windows Settings > Activation > Change Product Key > Entered my 25 digit key as before > Activate
14. Notification: Unable to activate windows. We can't activate Windows on this device because you don't have a valid digital liscence or product key. If you think you do have a valid liscence or key, select Troubleshoot below.
