Windows 10: I bought a non-genuine windows license, now im stuck in S mode.

Hi,


I bought my PC for Christmas 2019, it came with windows home pre-installed single license . I had no clue what the license key was as it came pre installed and all I had to do was sign in with my Microsoft account. I wanted to upgrade the other day to Windows Pro, so me being stupid went to Ebay and bought a "Genuine Windows Pro License Key" for £3, it seemed to be good to be true so I bought it anyway...

I entered the product key into my computer, my computer did a restart and now I'm stuck in Windows Pro in S mode. When I go to settings to check my activation it says"We can't activate Windows on this device because you don't have a valid digital license or product key, If you think you do have a valid license or product key, select Troubleshoot below. Error Code: 0xC004C060"


Now my computer is stuck in Windows pro in S mode and i'm unable to activate it. I called support and they were completely unable to help me, they told me to reinstall windows which is what I tried but the installation failed. At this point I have no idea what to do, I reallu don't want to spend £200 on Windows pro, is it possible just to get my old Windows Home license back? Please, I'm begging because now my PC is basically disabled.

I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME HELP, E.G WHERE CAN I BUY A "CHEAPER LICENSE KEY FOR HOME OR PRO CHEAPEST WITHOUT BEING SCAMMED




I have learnt my lesson, don't trust very cheap licenses I did try to contact the owner, they just sent my money back straight away then blocked me to prevent me making a review.

Will non-genuine Windows licenses qualify for the Windows 10 upgrade?

Windows 7 not genuine problem

It seems like that's an OEM windows copy, it will do that the every time you reinstall the OS. If you have the key, next time you see the "not genuine windows copy" click it and choose to activate by phone, everything else is pretty straight forward as it explains step-by-step. If it doesn't work, then its highly likely that you got a Pirate copy.

 

Genuine windows vs non genuine windows

thank u for ur reply,

does it affect the visuality/graphics, if u r using non genuine/pirated windows?

I want to make sure....actually i think i bought genuine windows when i bought laptop...but i thought there were malwares in my comp so i asked the seller to reinstall my windows and idk what they did.

OK I CHECKED UR GIVEN LINKS= i am running OEM license. So it is genuine right? I mmean it wont affect the graphics quality? or is there any other more super version? It looks dull..thats y i amm bored and not happy.

kind regards

i find computer world very tricky ..my head just can not take it.
