  1. Can I use the same activation key of Windows 10 Home if my PC decides to unactivate itself?


    Hello!

    So I wanted to delete all my files and start up Windows 10 Home by using the “Clean all my drives” option on Reset this PC, (I don’t want to recycle/give away my PC by the way but I want to securely feel like none of my data is recoverable) and i’m very concerned if Windows 10 would remember my activation key. Any help?

  2. Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

  3. Now that I have a new mobo and Ryzen processor, Windows 10 will not Activate....

    Well... dark option lingers for a while... better for eyes. It does not matter insider or not.

    Now input account. Verify it also in settings. It should bind with your key and change to the activation type like I do.

    Here is the same. Try to insert the key again btw... any even win 7 keys do work still btw... it may give an error, but reboot and it becomes active usually.

    Can I use the same activation key of Windows 10 Home if my PC decides to unactivate itself?

    DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 NOW - Upgrade and ISO direct from microsoft

    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?
