Windows 10: How to get Activation Keys

Hi,

On 28th November i upgrade my windows 10 home edition to windows 10 Pro edition through System--> Activation process.

I select windows 10 pro and made the payment and then automatically the upgrade starts but after the up gradation i saw it was not windows 10 pro it was Windows enterprise edition was installed on my laptop and now again i am getting Activate windows error.

The invoice which i received from Microsoft Store doesn't have any activation keys. From 28th to till the time i am fighting to get my Windows 10 Pro activation keys. It was Microsoft fault instead of windows 10 pro why they installed windows enterprise edition?????


I send mail to Microsoft store still no reply......don't know what to do..... Either just refund me the entire amount or share my activation keys also let me know how to downgrade win enterprise edition to windows pro????

Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

Method 1:
I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
2. Select or click Ease of Access.
3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
5. Check if issue is resolved.

Method 2:
I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

Not only that, you can check your M$ account and see what devices are listed there, so you know if you can do a clean install or not. Do the upgrade, get it activated, verify that it is listed in your account, then feel free to do a fresh install without activation issues ever.

Cryptographic Hashes Tab
This allows you to generate and verify cryptographic hashes created from strings
of files.




Hash Type Dropdown : This allows you to select the type of hash you would like to
generate.
Filename : This allows you to enter a filename (path) to used to create the
cryptographic hash. Check the "string" CheckBox if you want the hash generated
from the text in the TextBox instead of reading the contents of the file.
Generate Hash Button : This generates the hash from the above input. You can
cancel the hash generation using the Stop Button. A spinning icon shows that the
process is running, and when it is complete it will display the hash in the
TextBox below it and also report the time that it took to hash the input.
You can copy and paste a hash string in the second TextBox and it will be
compared to the first to verify the hashes match.

Application Buttons
Save : This will save the key and password information to an encrypted file. You
will be prompted for a file location and name, and also for a username and PIN
number. If you forget your username and/or PIN number there is no way of
recovering the data in the encrypted file.
Exit : This will exit the application.

Additional Information
Adding a group : To add a new group to either keys of passwords simply commit
either using any available group and edit the group name in the DataGridView.
When the Key-Z file is opened it automatically adds the needed groups to the
dropdowns.
Removing a group : Simply remove any keys or passwords for that group and save
the file. When it is re-loaded the group will no longer be available. If you
remove all of the groups, the default set of groups will be re-added when the
file is loaded.

The DataGridViews will be sorted alphabetically (ascending) by group whenever you open a file,
save, print preview or print.
