I recently downloaded windows 10 home single language on my laptop but it started asking for product key. but when I go to activation windows the screen comes blank and when I try to install product key using command prompt I get a error 0xC00F015 On a computer running non-core edition, run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004F015' to display the error text. when I try to open it does not open and I am sent back to desktop.

my windows specifications are:

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Licensing and activation

    Hi

    click your Start Button, then just type cmd

    From the resulting list, right click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator

    Run this command (replacing the hash tags with your Product Key and include the hyphens) and hit Enter

    slmgr.vbs /ipk #####-#####-#####-#####-#####

    That command should apply that product key for you . . .

    Hi,

    When you say you downloaded Windows 10 Home SL. Did you previously have Windows 10 installed and activated on that PC or is this a first time installation?

    Was Windows 10 pre-installed on your PC and is that the Edition that came pre-installed?

    If that was not pre-installed, did you upgrade from a previous version of Windows or do you have a Windows 10 Product Key?

    Hi,

    slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004F015 translates to the license is not installed.

    As you said you have Home SL license, does this tool show a key?
