Wrong Activation code entered

Question

I had 2 computers to install windows on, pc1 and pc2.

I accidentally installed the activation code from pc2 on pc1.

I thought if I activated pc1 with the correct code, it would remove the lock on the product key for pc2 and allow me to activate the product key for pc2.

It did not.

I need the lock removed for the product key for pc2.

Thank you.

If you're unable to activate Windows 10, the Activation troubleshooter could help. To use the troubleshooter, select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Activation , and then select Troubleshoot .

Answer 4

That did not fix it. It still says that the license has been installed on another pc.

I think the only solution is to purchase another valid license.

Thanks anyway,
