Called in to manually active as all other editions before it! As an IT professional, and having quite a bit of knowledge on it! Called activation spoke to technical who said it would activate in the next 2 business day, (it didn't) called again, reached same technician again... Asked to speak to supervisor... Who gave this number 18009365700 for technical support (couldn't get any one!) Kevin(Supervisor) Refused to help, and gave no solution/service nor activation/confirmation key!
This machine had a Windows 8.1 pro edition (LEGIT!) upgrade to the free windows 10...
Once on windows 10 for the first time, I Checked windows 10 to see if it was activated..., and i looked around the new OS... it was working before restart! Restarted machine, windows wouldn’t boot into OS (still don't know why it wouldn't boot)... No changes were made to this machine once the upgrade was complete...! (normal start menu> power > restart... So I booted it into the recovery options (press F8 at boot) DID A HARD DRIVE REST!
On normal windows 8/8.1(in the desktop!), to do this: To reset you’re PC “Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings. ... Tap or click Update and recovery, and then tap or click Recovery. Under remove everything and reinstall Windows, tap or click get started. Follow the instructions on the screen... '
Once the rest was finished ( i thought it was going to be 8.1, instead it was the new OS! ) So it put window 10 pro back on my machine (the reset erased all my data and programs! WINDOWS WAS NOT TOUCHED!) REST DOESN'T LOSE PRODUCT KEY INFO!
Checked windows 10 after the reset (CMD CODE LINES), it was activated, few days later, activation error showed up on my screen, windows not activated! Error code: 0xC004C003 ...
SO i submitted feedback, this info is also in there... Only reason i upgrade was for the lifetime support… that was a joke... still haveing isues, no supoprt!
Using advance cmd command line operations say activation is blocked, Microsoft blocked the key (slmgr /ato) error message box:
Activating Windows(r), Professional Edition (49cd895b-53b2-4dc4-a5f7-b18aa019ad37)... Error: 0xC004C003 The activation server determined the specified product key is blocked
Activation was successful after the reset! I personally checked! (After the rest, I verified that windows 10 was activated on this machine!), why now is the key blocked!, and not activated!??
So I went to advance cmd command line operations again! So I brought up the manual activation prompt and called Microsoft:
Advance cmd command line operations (SLUI 0x4) Phone activation windows appears!
Select USA phone number: 855-801-0109 gave them the installation ID Suppose (due to server down) automation cant verify product!... Ok, goes to representative, talked to representative, explained my issue, said it was there servers! … give them 2 days (48 hours!) .. (did!)
Called them the next day, same BS, there servers, give them 2 days called them again! 3 days past, still have this error, windows not activated!
Told him I wanted to speak to the supervisor, who blatantly lied to me, and say because I 'reset' the HD in recovery option, that the Product key was removed... R
Recovery doesn’t touch the PRODUCT KEY! (i've done resets before on windows 8.1!)
Then claimed that windows 10 doesn’t' have a product key... weird, since activation wanted me to supply a new product key! … Becasue they blocked this one!...
Said I need to reinstall my old OS, window 8 /windows 7 again and do the upgrade WHY THE HELL DO I!, I’ve already lost everything during this Upgrade, why do I need to Reinstall the Old OS to go the NEW ONE!
He Refused to give his id number/agent number! Refused to activate windows, Refused service, and technical before them bluntly lied to me, multiple time over the course of 3 days!...

Agent then said I would have to PAY FOR THE PRODUCT! IT SUPPOSE TO BE FREE! PLEASE HELP ME CORRECT THIS ISSUE Spread the word! Microsoft isn't giving out windows 10 for free! You guys are missing the point!.. it is a legit activation, now its not... sorry in advance for poor spelling / grammar... new to redit
