    Windows 10 activation. Pawn shop laptop

    It's called a Volume License - and it likely means that laptop should not have been sold in that state to the pawn shop.



    Is there a Windows sticker found anywhere on the laptop? (Under the battery compartment, even...)

    Windows 10 activation. Pawn shop laptop

    Recently bought a toshiba laptop from a pawn shop. It has windows 10 installed but when i go to activate it. It tells me “We can’t activate windows on this device as we can’t connect to your organizations activation server. Make sure you’re connected to
    you’re connected to your organizations network and try again” It also tells me im not running a genuine copy pf windows. So, what should I do and, what can i do to fix these issues. Anything would be of help.

    Creative X-Fi Soundcards and Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709 = Complete Disaster / Not Working

    Thank you for trying to help , i did tried your suggestion but it did not work :/ , nothing seems to make it work on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709. In the meantime i have bought a new SoundBlasterX AE-5 and it did installed flawlessly , no problems whatsoever. it is up to Creative ( drivers ) and Microsoft ( bug fix ) to fix this huge bugs with Audio.
