    Can't activate Windows 10


    I have changed motherboard and now I can't activate Windows 10 Home on my PC. My W10 is retail upgraded from W7 Home which i have original boxed version. On old PC It said I have my retail licence bound to my microsoft account yet now on new PC It says that "Our activation servers are unacquirable. Please check internet connection" etc etc.. i'm swarmed with error codes 0x800072F8F saying that this Product key cannot be used in this Windows copy. At this point im totally disgusted that there is absolutely no way of solving that. I'm not going to waste 200$ on another w10 licence. I have tried

    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?
