    How Do I re-activate windows without installing Windows 7


    My Motherboard bit the dust so I replaced it. Now windows won't activate. This is an upgrade from Windows 7 when the free Win 10 was offered. I tried signing in using my MS account but it gave me the error saying you do not have a OS purchased. No I did not purchase 10 I purchased 7 and was offered a free upgrade. I never sign into windows using a MS account, nor did it ask me to link the upgrade to my MS account. Any help would be appriciated.

    :)

  2. Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
