Can't Activate Windows 10 Pro

Recently, I installed Windows 10 on my new computer. I downloaded the ISO from the Microsoft Imagine website and I used the activation key they gave me.

The problem is that Windows can't activate and I get the error : 0x80072EFE I also got once a 0xc004b100

Microsoft's websites aren't really helpful so I hope someone here could help me.

(and yes, I tried some things and yes, I googled it, and if I post here it's because I'd rather avoid contacting microsoft, in case the problem could be resolved normally (for me in the future or anybody who see this))

Possibilities :

  • If you have one, use a windows 8.1 activation key. I think it's also possible with a win7 key.

or

  • Contact Microsoft for an offline activation.
