Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help. I have been upgrading some machines within my workplace onto windows 10.

when upgrading windows 7 onto windows 10 build 10240 I had to set the netsh winhttp proxy - to use our proxy server in order to activate windows. This worked flawlessly and would activate straight away.

However using the new build 10586 this no longer works and I cannot activate windows at all. I get the message.
"Unable to reach Windows Activation Servers"

I have just been doing some testing and Its quite strange.

I run an in-place upgrade on an activated windows 7 laptop onto windows 10 build 10586 - doesn't activate.
I rebuild the same laptop straight onto windows 10 build 10586, use windows 7 key and it activates.

So why doesn't the upgrade activate?

Does anyone know if anything has changed regarding activation apart from you can now activate using a windows 7/8 key.
