- Alabamatom1963Steel ContributorDigital keys are automatically detected once you sign in under the account you registered it with. EXP: email address removed for privacy reasons was used to register account with windows. License Key now always associates with email address removed for privacy reasons. Make sure you are using the right Account to Sign in with.
- Can you share us what method you tried to upgrade?
Do you have retail or OEM license?
What is the message appearing on the Activation page now? If there's any error code/message, share for better assistance.- debugtCopper Contributorsorry for the amateur post first time having big enough problem to post as microsoft disscusion
- debugtCopper Contributori bought it from the last user of this device and im not completly sure thought it was oem but it said digital license on the windows so cant give u a 100 % answer when i disconected the account from the previous device the activation went with the account and the activation page says error code : 0xC004C003 i've seen other people have the same problem and i think they fixed it by calling the support but i can't call them since georgia isn't supported when i troubleshoot it says i need actiation and when i click recently changed hardware there are no old devices shown since i think i accidently deleted one with the key trying to troubleshoot
