Re: Windows 10 Evaluation cannot be activated (product key is blocked) evaluation keys, as their name clearly says, are only for evaluations only, they have limited time use, they will expire and you need to buy a product key if you want to continue using Windows 10.
How do I activate Windows evaluation?
Open an administrative PowerShell prompt and run: DISM /Online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /productkey:N69G4-B89J2-4G8F4-WWYCC-J464C /accepteula. Match the product key to the edition you want to end up on, listed in the Microsoft link above. The conversion can take hours to complete.
