Hi everyone!
So i've been using windows 8.1 for a year or so and a couple of days ago ive recieved a notification for a windows update but ive always closed those and i noticed some time later in the bottom right of the screen "windows 8.1 pro build 9600" and a watermark next to it saying "activate windows go to pc settings" and so i did.
so when i got in the pc setting i clicked on the "put a product key" but when i put the product key it said "this key didn't work. check if this is the correct one and try again or try a new one" but i wrote the correct one!, so then i clicked "activate windows online" but it didn't work, it said "it was not possible to activate windows. try again later", so then i cliked "error details" and it said "code error:0xC004F074 the software licencing serviçe reported it wasn't possible activate the product. it wasn't possible to contact any KMS" so i was completely confused to what was going on!
so i checked google and i found this website:
Fix Activation Error 0xc004f074 Windows 8.1 -
i tried every method here and it failed!
the first method around step 4, it said basicaly the samething in the error details.
the 2nd method gave the same problem when i tried to activate the product key in the pc settings
the 3rd method said "it wasn't possible to activate windows by telephone"
so i tried searching for other ways to fix this and i could only find one other who said something to do with turning secureboot off and on in BIOS but i dont have secureboot in BIOS so im absolutely cluess on what to do!!
Could someone please help me? thank you.
