    Activation of Windows 10 Home on a Renewed PC


    Dear Anybody Who Can Help,


    I recently purchased a renewed PC off of Amazon. Upon delivery of my Acer Spin 1, I attempted to activate Windows 10 on the PC. In the activation settings, there is a message in red text stating "Windows can't be activated on this device right now. Try activating again later or go to the store to buy genuine Windows. Error Code: 0xC004F025" I tried using the troubleshooter to troubleshoot the problem which yielded the message "We weren't able to activate Window on this device." After that I went to the Microsoft Store using the link provided in the troubleshooter message. Small gray text under the description for Windows 10 Home reads "Something happened and we couldn't make your copy of Windows genuine." Below that, I'm given the option to "Try again" or "Upgrade to Pro". Selecting "Try again" does nothing. I would like to know what to do next or if there is any way to solve this issue. If any other information is required for the solution to the problem, feel free to ask in your response.


    Thank You For Your Time

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?

    Activation of Windows 10 Home on a Renewed PC

    DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 NOW - Upgrade and ISO direct from microsoft

    Click to expand... Yeah I went to that site, why do I need to buy a key?
    I won't buy a key, stupid.

    I'll revert back to windows 7 then.

    When I still was on windows 7, about a year ago I added 4GB extra ram which is a total of 8GB now,
    is that causing the problem?
