How can I get Windows 10 to activate?

[Windows Central Question]

Windows 10 will not activate.

I was running Windows 7 and very happy. Several months ago I replaced my old HDD with a Seagate 1TB hard drive by cloning my old HDD with Seagate's Disk Manager Software. Now Windows 10 will not activate. Please help, or tell me how to undo Windows 10 and return to Windows 7.

Re: Windows 10 will not activate.

So I've seen multiple people say this on Twitter, and I think your best option is to wait. Seriously, I think Microsoft's activation servers are getting hammered and its taking longer than instantly. If it doesn't work in 24 hours, then come back and I can tell you how to revert to Windows 7.
