I bought my laptop last summer, and it came with Windows 8.1. I did an upgrade to Windows 10 Home edition today with the ISO using the media creation tool, and it was activated.
I then did a clean install just to wipe everything clean because it's been a while. Afterwards, it was activated for a couple of hours, but now it's saying that it's not activated anymore. When I try to activate it, I always get Error code: 0x8007232B. Error Description: DNS name does not exist
I'm posting from the laptop so Internet works
Update: I plugged the laptop directly into the modem via Ethernet, and the error changed to Error code: 0x8007007B. Error description: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

Well, first things first: is your Internet connection working? Can you browse the web, ping hosts by name, etc. from the affected system? – a CVn – 2015-07-30T08:02:37.097
Yes the internet works. I'm posting from the laptop – Alex – 2015-07-30T08:08:18.310
Please [edit] your question to make that clear, then. – a CVn – 2015-07-30T08:10:10.870
I should point out that Microsoft's activation servers are having lots of troubles. So unless you have other problems with the internet, it likely, isn't you. – Ramhound – 2015-07-30T21:21:27.260
It worked on my desktop 3 times no problems. It still wouldn't work today on my laptop, until after I reinstalled. I tried right before I reinstalled too – Alex – 2015-07-30T22:10:19.500
