  1. Product Key not working


    I've almost had enough of Microsoft problems. First it said I need an HEVC Codec Video Extension, I bought it and it doesn't work, money waisted. I decided to just downgrade Windows but I can't because I need a product key. I typed in the EXACTLY product key and it doesn't work either. Seriously, what am I supposed to do here? I'm not trying to be rude but I am really frustrated. Please help before I actually destroy my laptop out of frustration. Please!

    :)

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

    I suggest you to try to activate Windows by phone by following the steps below:

    • Press “Windows key + R” and type “slui 4” and press Enter.
    • Select your Region/Country.
    • Select the Phone Activation option, and hold on for a real person.

    Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to

    Where is my Product Key if I want to re-install?


    Like davidhk said. But if you really want to see your windows key, I would suggest Belarc advisor. It will give you some useful information about your system, product keys of your software is among them (not only Microsoft, you will have listed most of your keys).

    Hi Megan,

    A product key is used when activating a software.
    To help us determine the appropriate troubleshooting steps that can resolve your concern, we'd like to ask the following questions:

    • What product are you trying to activate?
    • Are you looking for the product key to activate your Office application?
    • Which version of Office are you trying to activate? To check this, you can perform the steps posted on this
      link.
    • Are you looking for the product key to activate your Windows?

    We look forward to your response.
