I believe that MS product management needs to change its policy to allow those of us with legitimate copies of Windows that can prove it to be issued a new product key to activate our valid copies of Windows 10. It may be the change to the 64-bit version even though MS clearly states that changing versions will have no impact on the activation. My log files from the upgrade indicate successful activation and my HW information has not changed so I can only assume that there is something else blocking my clean install. I assume that this information is the HW fingerprint that they will use to periodically use to activate and authorize our machines. MS technical support keeps giving me lame excuse that the servers are still overloaded yet I've done a few other upgrades on other machines that activate immediately.ĭuring the upgrade process, some basic information on the hardware configuration is sent to Microsoft about a dozen times.

The install ran flawlessly, but 7 days later my installation still has not activated. I did a clean install on the activated system with an ISO version that I created from the Media Creation Tool. Also I wanted to move to the 64-bit version.

Later that evening I decided to do a clean install because of all of the extra cruft that Dell installs and that I no longer need after migrating from Vista to Windows 7 to Windows 10. I too followed the directions explicitly and upgraded from Windows 7 Professional to Windows 10 Professional 32-bit.
