Upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7, but Will not Activate!
Hi,
A couple of months ago I decided to finally upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I didn't do a clean install, I just went through the upgrade process.
Everything went smoothly, and I've been loving everything about windows 10 since then, but today it started to warn me that my license is about to expire. I was under the impression the license from my Windows 7 would be transferred over.
This is what my update and security screen looks like...
When I click activate it just does this...
And nothing happens. When I go to change the product key, and I put in my windows 10 license code they gave me.
I get a different error if i put in my windows 7 license code.
I don't know what to do. I'm frustrated by this. I was under the impression that this was a free upgrade, and now I feel like I'm going to have to buy a new license.
any help or advice is MUCH appreciated.
