I got the same problem. Upgraded from 10240 Pro. Now windows is not activated and there's a watermark in the desktop.

At Administrator Command prompt:

slmgr.vbs /ipk VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T

slmgr.vbs /rearm



Then restart your computer to see if it is then auto-activated, based on its hardware being registered as a licensed Windows 10 Pro device.
