Windows 10: Discounted licenses -- From Here maybe !!!

Hi folks

One can't help noticing the sheer volume of hugely discounted versions of Office and Windows around at the moment and most appear to work.

Trying to unravel the provenance of these things is probably harder than attending a Mossad or CIA internal briefing but I wonder if finally this is possibly the source of these things and that's why Ms hasn't yet done anything to stop them - although in 2020 they will. Reminds me of the over generous benefits of the old Technet system and the misuse of that program too.

So if you use these cheap editions remember it's highly AYOR.

Discount on the cost of Software

Volume Licensing would be the only means of purchasing Windows 10 in bulk, but there is no discount. The Microsoft Store supports purchasing up to 20 licenses one time, but there is no discount either.

Buy Windows 10 Home/Pro

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

Thank you for your reply.

I am still lost but here goes:

• Only known “change” was starting to use Edge browser (which came with new Asus in May) in addition to Firefox. No earlier problem with new or old PC prior to late June.

• New PC came with Kaspersky with which I am uncertain after the contract period.

• Ads appear when opening email messages ( which are genuine) and must be deleted before continuing with the email. Sites are those I have visited for years.

• Below are samples of the ads and where possible their urls

• Only steps taken are to seek help and direct profanity toward whomever sends this trash

Any suggestions welcomed and thank you,

John Shiels
