    Windows activation . . .

    In the Windows activation status page is it still showing as activated, or do you have something like 3 days to do it in?

    Windows Vista Activation

    I have 4 sytems in my home running vista(1 ult.-3 prem).The ultimate & 1 premium took SP1
    wthout a hitch.1 premium required re-activation?,The other premium did not list SP1 in windows up-date,So i manually installed it without any re-activation required.
    Also have to add that SP1 has increased performance in every comp.The ultimate machine actually got a 1,100 point increase in 3d 06 without any other changes at all.

    cant activate Windows even though it was previously activated on the same device

    Activation of Windows.

    So can you explain your activation problem.

    • What edition (Home or Pro), version and build.
    • Was it activated previously and lost activation, if so what changed.
    • Where was the activation licence key from.
    • Was Windows 10 pre-installed on the device by the manufacturer.
