windows 10 not activating

I'm sure someone said in the other thread they where getting the invalid / blocked key thing and it fixed itself after a few restarts and stuff.
 
You know all these issues are simply because we have no bloody patience... :D

I'm the same and found this update (although it went smooth as) annoying because I couldn't activate! Switched off for a couple hours and when I came back online, activated first time.

The servers are hammered.

If your activation button does not vanish, then that is a good thing all around. But it should activate soon, just spam the button to see if it helps :)

Otherwise, it is the waiting game.

Yea I have this issue coming from win8 pro. Now I've installed a clean windows 7 pro on a VM and and following the upgrade path again. Then hopefully I can use the key to activate the physical machine :/

I guess this may of been asked but when u upgrade and then fresh install how does it know what system it's on so it won't need to input a key?

Basically I have 8.1 on my 840 Evo which I want to upgrade but then fresh install on the same system but a different ssd and format the 840 for storage.
