Windows 10: windows reinstall

I have had to take a computer that was originally a windows 7 upgraded to a Windows 10 computer to a shop to have windows reinstalled. I have an activation key for windows 7, but when I upgraded to windows 10 a key was not requested. Now I am trying to activate the reinstalled widows 10 on the computer, but the windows 7 activation code does not work. What do I need to do to get windows reactivated?

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

Reinstall Windows?

You don't need to reinstall windows. Go to the device manager and remove uninstall the processor and motherboard drivers listed. When you start the system back up you should be able to re-install the new ones. I just changed my mobo/processor Friday, everything is fine.

BTW I have seen some reviews that state practically no difference in using more than 2gb of ram.
