Click Start > Settings > Update & security > Activation
Click the Troubleshoot link
Wait while it diagnoses the problem. It will tell you whether you have the right edition installed or not.
If you see: Windows 10 Activation reports your license will soon expire.
This can happen for a number of reasons:
- You copied a Windows 10 Pro off the Internet (usually a volume license - organization - key) and changed on a Windows 10 Home installation. Windows 10 Pro is not free.
If this is what you did, you will need to reinstall the previous edition or version you were running. You inadvertently installed the wrong edition.
- The copy of Windows 10 you download and upgrade from will correspond with the edition of Windows you have installed, if it does not, this is why you might be experiencing problems activating:
- Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Windows 8.0 Core, Windows 8.1 Core
will install Windows 10 Home
- Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8.0 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro
will install Windows 10 Pro
To find out if you have the right edition installed:
Click Start > Settings > Update & security > Activation > Edition.
If the edition of Windows 10 installed does not correspond with the edition of Windows 7 or Windows 8 you were previously running, then you need to reinstall the right edition.
You can also using the valid key for your system to activate Windows 10.
