Windows 10 Activation Error code: 0x8004FC12
Hi,
I recently upgraded my Dell Inspiron Laptop to Windows 10 Home from Windows 8.1 Home via Microsoft's media creation tool. I downloaded it onto a flash drive and used that to perform a clean installation. However, after the installation my laptop showed that Windows 10 hasn't been activated along with the error code 0xC004C003. I then reset my PC as suggested by some people. When I went back into the activation settings, it still displayed "Windows is not activated." There was an activate button though, which wasn't there before, but when I clicked on it, it said, "Windows can't activate. Try again later." When I clicked on error details, it displayed "Error code: 0x8004FC12" with no description.
Does anyone know why this is showing up? And if so, how can I fix it?
Thanks!
