I cannot activate Win 10, due to lock in my system installed by HP.   According to Microsoft this lock is holding my Win 10 activation.  I have bad HDD with Win 7 pro and downloaded Win 10 pro and successully installed it on new HDD .  Now I cannot activate OS. even I have  activation keys.  Tryed sevral times to run SLUI 3 or SLUI 4 with no luck.    Can you help me ? Thanks.

Hi

 

If you want to upgrade from W7 to W10 then you buy a licence, as I believe the free upgrade period ended some time ago.

If there is a lock by HP then it must be on the Main Board, and I am not convinced about that.

 

So have you a W10 Licence/Activation Key? Sometimes it can be done by Telephone.
