Hi @Major_ToM    actually , that was the first thing I tried (multiple times now) and it always ends with the same message:  (message actually in Dutch, but I translated it to the best of my ability)   "Troubleshooting finished Troubleshooting could not be completed by an unknown cause. Please check your internet connection and try again in a few minutes (0x80070005)   Windows can't be activated on this device. Please contact support for help   You can activate this device by going to the Microsoft Store and buy an legitimate copy of windows there"   and then a button to go to the Microsoft Store   When I click on that button it brings up the Microsoft Store and it states (always in Dutch, so I translated again) I have a non-legitimate version of Windows 10 Home and presents two buttons: "Upgrade to Pro"    (which I do not want to do) "Become a legitimate Windows 10 Home"   (which actually does something in the background; circling dots showing for a few seconds and than shows this page again)   Hope that sheds some light on the issue... ...

Hi @Major_ToM, got the same problem: bought a new laptop 2 days ago (MSN: 30030922) model MD63780 E14304. After first boot and some basic first-time setup, got the error that Windows could not be activated (error code: 0xC004C008 : productcode has already been used on another device).
