    activation error question


    I have successfully upgraded my win 7 ult desktop to win 10 pro and all has been fine the last 2 days. Today I noticed that when I go to "settings/accounts/sync" and disable sync settings the desktop immediately has a activation error and says that windows needs to be activated. Now if I turn back on the sync settings the activation error disappears and desktop is now activated again.
    Is this normal? Is their a way I can keep the activation without syncing to Microsoft?

    :)

    If you made substantial hardware changes to your PC, such as replacing your hard drive or motherboard, Windows might no longer be activated on your PC. For info on how to activate your PC, see the product

    article.

    I solved the problem by reinstalling windows 7 and activating it once again. Then running the windows 10 upgrade. I have not had any more activation problems this last time and it has been about a week.
