Windows 10: Activation on Windows 10 17763

Split from this thread.​

Hi


I've been part of the Windows Insider Programme from its inception. I'm running Windows 10 Pro - a free upgrade/migration from Windows 7 and then via Windows 8.


For the last few years I have seldom done much development, except migrating from one Motherboard, devices, peripherals and drives to newer ones. I thought I had saved my Windows Activation code but at the moment I'm not able to find it.


Since my most recent transfer I can't activate Windows. Information from Winver and my new PCs Windows System folder in settings - reads as follows.


Winver


Micorsoft Windows version 1809 OS build 17763.379

Copyright 2018 Product Licensed to "User"


System folder - User and Full Computer Name HP8000 an old test PC I initially transferred from.


Now Under Windows activation it states - "Windows is not activated"


and


"Product ID 00330-80000-00000-AA180"


Which Windows won't accept when I try and validate, in fact doesn't register the 0 zeros , nor the letter As.

Hope someone can help me - with a simple resolution?

Thank you

Robert

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

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?

If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free and ended up in a non-activated state, try following these steps:

• Go to Start
  
  , then select Settings > Update & security > Activation.
• Select Go to Store, and check to see if a valid license is available for your device. If a license isn't available, you'll need to buy Windows from the Store.
  
  Note
  • This only applies if you haven't made changes to the hardware for your device.

or you could hack it with a crack but please note this is always risky and you don't know what's in the hack
