Windows 10: Activation in Windows 10 (as of mine its Windows 10 Home)

Hello.....,


I'm using Windows 10 Home on my Dell Inspiron 5758 Laptop.

Since a month when one day i woke up i saw that "Activate Windows" watermark. when I opened the settings and tried to troubleshoot activation, this is what it said:

"We found a Windows 10 Home digital licence for this device running Windows 10 Home. To activate using this digital licence you need to install Windows 10 Home."


when i tried to hit on the "I changed my hardware recently, it took me to a new window, which later showed that

"Windows can't reactivate from these devices".

Is it because that i haven't updated windows for a while (There are a lot of updates).


What do I do?Thanks,

-Pranove

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

Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

Like Pill Monster said no more Windows 10 keys for Insiders. It was on Microsoft Blog they said that all that stuff is tied to one machine. You can upgrade anytime but never make a clean install. Those people who upgraded from 7 or 8.1 to 10 can do a clean install of RTM and post-RTM builds. A friend of mine upgraded from RTM to 10533 or whatever the latest post-RTM build is (and it activated just fine).

After all MS isn't stupid to give Windows 10 for free.

 

Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

How long did you wait for activation?
When I re-installed with a fresh install... it took a few hours to sync and activate.
However, it did, finally, activate.
