Windows 10 activation issue

[Guest JakeFreeland]

Hello,

 

 

I bought a PC from a friend and quickly noticed that I couldn't do some things because Windows 10 wasn't activated. My friend said he didn't have any problems and wasn't sure. So I decided to purchase a copy of Windows 10 Home from the MS Store. I followed the install prompts and that didn't work either. In Settings, it's showing the old product key still; not the one I purchased. I tried to manually install the product key and am told "the product key you entered didn't work". I JUST BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT KEY!

 

 

Below are the two error codes I receive. Please don't reply with links to what the codes are. I want a solution to this problem. I'll be happy to have the key I BOUGHT work and Windows 10 activated and be able to use it to the fullest.

 

 

First error code / Windows 10 Pro is not activated: 0xC004c003

 

 

Second error code / after entering the product key I purchased: 0xc004f050
