Tried reinstalling Win10 for my wife's PC last night onto a new SSD. Booted from win 10 install USB, formatted the drive and installed without problems. After installation it wouldn't let me activate.
Copy is an upgrade from Win 7 previously which I used s 3rd party software to display the Product key and noted down before I did the install as I didn't have it. It was installed years ago when I bought the entire rig from PCT. The previous install was not associated with any Microsoft account as back then there was no such feature, which is why I took down the Product Key in the first place.
What should I do now?
I did the exact same install on my own PC just a few days ago and it went well without any issues. Didn't even need the Product Key in the end but now I'm prompted to enter which is apparently not valid.
