    I have to activate Windows 10 every single day.


    All is legal, my computer has a Win10 digital license, but I am prompted to activate every day. I do it, all works well, until tomorrow.

    Ideas?

    Right click on the start icon and select Command Prompt (Admin). In the command prompt window run the command:

    slmgr /dlv

    Post the result window here. It will not contain any unique ID information so you do not have to block anything out.

    So, next question - how did you get from the Windows 8.1 Home edition which was the original edition to Windows 10 Pro insider preview?

    We will have to troubleshoot during the de-activation phase.

    See if a diagnostic run during that period will give us better results - the only problem is it runs the Software Licensing service, so chances are you will be re-activated by the time the report is available. See Activation troubleshooting - Windows 10 Forums (remember to mask the keys in the report )

    Anyway, how did you upgrade? You have a Win 8 Home OEM licence, yet running Pro...? (... Ninja'd)

    Oh-HO! Now you challenge my memory, which gets worse every day. I might have something to do with a computer purchase and the acquisition of a used laptop. Let me check my records...

    I'm confused . The first screenshots you posted were of Windows 10 Pro and now you posted pics of Windows 10 Home. Anyways it show's activated and can't troubleshoot until it's unactivated.
