  1. Can't Activate Windows


    Hello, I have some trouble with my Windows Activation.


    I have attached the necessary information down below.

    Actually my Laptop have preinstalled Windows 8. So the product key is on the label sticker beneath the laptop. But the sticker have blurred so i can't see the product key.

    What should i do? Can i still activate my Windows?


    Thank you very much.

  2. Can't activate windows after clean install

    Could you post a link to the "Clean" install instructions you followed? Or list the steps you took. It sounds like you may have done an upgrade.

    What account you log in with has nothing to do with activation. Unless your trying transfer a license to new hardware. You can setup with a local account and Windows will activate. Was Windows 10 previously installed and activated on that PC?

    The Product Code is good for 32 bit or 64 bit, its your choice which you use. The only thing locked in is the Edition, Home, Pro etc. You can't activate Home with a Pro key for example.

    Can't Activate Windows

    Can't activate Windows after reinstall 0x8007232b

    Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try the chat as I figured out what happened:

    I sometimes take my SSD out of my PC when I go to a different location and want to work on and with stuff that's installed on it. For whatever dumb reason it was decided that if you change hardware Windows tells you it needs to be activated.

    Putting my SSD back in my regular PC solved it at that point, but I can't change hardware without the message appearing again. Best of all: Microsoft knows this and suggested some steps to combat it (add account > troubleshoot > changed hardware option)
    but these options aren't listed at all when you're in the state where Windows isn't activated.

    ps: when you do a reinstall as I mentioned in my original post you can't change from home to pro et vice versa
