Hello Tuvshinbayar Tuvshuu0330,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Error code 0x800704CF typically indicates a network-related problem.

Let's try a few steps to troubleshoot this:

1. Ensure that your computer is connected to the internet. You can try opening a web browser and visiting a website to confirm that your internet connection is working.
2. If you're using a VPN or proxy, try disabling it temporarily to see if it resolves the issue. Sometimes, these services can interfere with the activation process.
3. Make sure that your firewall is not blocking the activation server. You can temporarily disable the firewall to see if it helps. Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall > Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
4. Windows has a built-in troubleshooter that can help diagnose and fix activation issues. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Activation and click on "Troubleshoot."
5. Sometimes, incorrect DNS settings can cause activation issues. You can try changing your DNS settings to use a public DNS server like Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings, right-click on your network connection, select Properties, and then select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). Click on Properties and enter the DNS server addresses.

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,

Daisy Zhou
