Windows Activation Failed

[BarryDe Beer763]

I cant get windows to activate on my new pc. When I switched it on the first time it gave 3 beeps and didn't switch on. I then re-checked the cables and it switched on. Unfortunately there was no internet and I added my login and let window set itself up because the book says not to switch off the pc on the first run.

Now i have plugged in a usb wifi receiver (TP LINK) and added my Microsoft account detail but windows gives an activation error 0xC004F213.

I bought a WIN10 Pro with my new pc. Please assist.

The key should be in the order page, you can type it in manually if you need to.

Your windows key is normally stated in your PCS account on the order page, and/or on a sticker on the back on the machine - so i'd check both places
