  1. Can't activate Windows 10


    Hello!


    Have a great year 2021.


    My Problem is this Windows-10-Home Message:

    "We can't activate Windows on this device as our activation servers aren't available right now. Make sure you're connected to the Internet and

    we'll automatically try to activate Windows when the service becomes available. Error code: 0x80072EE7"


    This message is displayed in the path "Settings" -> "Activation".


    This a new Acer laptop I bought with the OS Windows 10 Home 64 Bit.


    When I run "Troubleshoot" I get another message:


    "Troubleshooting has completed

    We can't activate Windows on this device right now. You can try activating again later or go to

    the Store to buy genuine Windows. 0xc0000022

    We weren't able to activate Windows on this device.

    Contact Support to Get Help"


    The best part is "buy genuine Windows". The insinuation is that I have tried to cheat Microsoft by using an illegal version of Windows.


    What makes things worse that this is the third laptop in four weeks that I try to get to work. The first one had a defective USB socket, the second one was advertised as having a none-glare display but it was glare and the third one, this here, is alright but now there is trouble with Windows. That's why I choose this nickname.


    I can't go on installing programs because it takes hours and if windows is not to be activated then all these efforts are in vain.


    I'm getting a little bit desperate. I just want a running system and I don't want to read about how I should buy anything legal because I bought something legal. I just want to get either Windows activated or I send this computer back to the dealer. The last option is that I have lost another two days trying to set up a notebook an Acer Aspire 5 A517-52G-79Z5, if you want to know.


    So do you have any tips what I should do now?


    Best regards

    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

    Can't activate Windows 10

    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?
