I've just tried to activate my 10159 Pro Insider build, using the key 8N67H-M3CY9-QT7C4-2TR7M-TXYCV, but the PC says that it cannot activate with that key, any ideas folks?.

Very Best Wishes,
Bob.

Make sure you're signed into your MS account and that your copy is validated (different than activation). If you updated from a previous build you may have to use the key from that build, although it should have done that on its own.

I had the same issue. Used the enterprise key (by mistake) and now I am avtivated. Prefer to drop back to Pro though as above.

Logged into MS account, verified and using slmgr /ipk xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx didn't work.

I'm already logged in with my MS account - how do you validate your copy?

I had the same problem this morning so I rebooted the system then went back to updates and it was 100 percent within minutes

I was drooling heavily....

But I got the abominable "fix me" bug in Windows Update. This woulden't be so frustrating if MS actually uploaded fast and slow ring ISOS

.

If they're testing Win10 deployment strategies via Windows Update, they better just have an ISO link available...even if they make it a torrent to save bandwidth. 10kb/s is better then 0 :P

ps: had verified MS account that updated 100% from 10130. added second MS account and verified (neither have PINS) and both have "fix it" bs.

couldn't download 158 last night but this morn 159 downloaded no bother
a few things not working but did another reboot and most working
just checked and mine not activated and says try again later

I did the following -
Hit Win + R, and typed slui.exe 4
Followed the prompts, called the support number, and activated Windows via the automated prompts, and I entered the confirmation codes, and was told by the computerised phone message that it now fully activated. My PC thinks otherwise though!.

**EDIT**
A few minutes later, and it is now activated...
