last thing, did you upgrade to win 10 via windows updates
or by downloading the ISO win 10 build 102040 ( or other ?? )

so you did the upgrade to win 10 from 8.1 .. i may have to do that right now
i was lazy didn't bother with the 8.1 updates
immediately installed win 10 .. build 10240 and no wonder can't activate
...

i didn't upgrade, did a clean install
there's the mistake i think

ahh right, I don't think i can activate
I had to reinstall win 8.1 as build 10240 crashed my machine ..
didn't bother going through the upgrades , just d/loaded 10240
mistake !

lol .. went to microsoft insider forum asked about this was told
we haven't released 10240 ISO yet
I think he's calling me a pirate :mad:

sorry bout that, i've changed it to win 10 pro
I have done an ISO install on the laptop
but the keys offered here don't work
as they're for the windows update build

I got it installed, but the Pro codes on the opening thread are being rejected
