Did A Clean Install Before Upgrading Now Win 10 Won't Activate
Ever since upgrading I've been running into issues such as not being able to install updates and not being able to customize my desktop. After doing some research, it seems that this is because my copy of Win 10 is not activated.
As the title states, not knowing better, I did a clean install of Win 10 from Win 7 without doing the upgrade first. Because of this my copy of Win 10 is not activated and whenever do I attempt to activate it i get an error saying that it is unable to active at this time. When I click the Get Error Code prompt it bring up a box, there is no error code. FWIW, I have Win 10 installed on two laptops (the first upgraded just fine, though I didn't do I clean install on that one). Also, if I go to my Microsoft account, it shows both laptops under the device screen.
I read elsewhere that Microsoft might be having sever issues and that if I wait the problem will correct itself?
If anybody has any insight into this issue or advice as to what I should do it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
