Activation error after 6 months
I upgraded my laptop from windows 7 to windows 10 on Jan 2020. It was working till yesterday but after the regular update it started showing error in activation. When I enter my windows 7 key it is not accepting and I don't have my digital key for window 10. Kindly advice.

Hello kkmb11,
After you upgraded to Windows 10, you were supposed to buy new Windows 10 license. This is because, free upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 is no longer available:

Hope this helps!
