Hi Yasharanesabian,
I would like to inform you that you should make sure that you are updating to the correct version of Windows while upgrading. If you are upgrading to a different version of Windows then that product key won’t work.
The error 0xC004F074 can occur with a support version mismatch between the KMS client and the KMS host machine. You can refer to the following Microsoft article and check if it helps.
Note: Applies to Windows 7, but suitable to your scenario.
You can also refer to the following Microsoft article for more information.

I agree with you on Linux. I am so damn tired of having activation issues with Windows and not getting anyone on the phone that can do better than read off of a printed script. Windows 10? MS can't even get Windows 8.1 working right.
