After few investigations, the real error message is saying that my license is actually blocked (Error code 0xC004C003). But after the windows installation (like 2 hours after that), A message appeared saying my licence key was not valid. I put that key during installation and everything worked fine and the windows version was automatically determined. I have a valid Windows 10 Pro product key which worked fine with my previous configuration. Why is it blocked I just bought this laptop yesterday, and from what I know, Windows 10 product keys are pre-installed in BIOS so whats the matter here. Windows 10 Thread, The activation server determined the specified product key is blocked in Technical Anyone got this problem, trying activate windows 10 educaton against my kms key and getting this on the clients kms.

So I downloaded the Microsoft utility to create a bootable USB, and reinstall my windows entirely on my first drive, deleting the previous partitions (I tought it was a good occasion to clean up everything).

I kept my two drives and connected them to my new motherboard, and after the upgrade, windows was quite buggy (it has been installed with a completely different hardware). I just upgraded my PC today with my new motherboard Asus B550, my Ryzen 5600X processor and a beautiful RTX 3070.
