Error when using product key for Windows 10
If you're not being entirely forthright with us, or your friend's not being entirely forthright with you, and some form of piracy or cracking is going on here, then no, no number of calls to Microsoft or attempts to use the activation troubleshooter will work. And if those things are involved, you should run ALL the virus scanners because the computer has herpes.
Don't stress, the product code is valid! I was present when he made the purchase!
It seems like you're expressing frustration. Let me know how I can assist!
I reached out a few times during the Windows 7 period; it's an automated process and typically resolves within 15 minutes. Since Windows 10, I've never needed to contact MS for activation.
I've experienced this with a few keys bought from a place called "FleaBay." These are questionable, gray-market MSDN or corporate bulk keys, and sometimes getting them to work is a bit frustrating. It hasn’t stopped me from trying, but it’s strange that a W10 key wouldn’t activate properly, and even more surprising that Microsoft doesn’t respond.
