    I can't activate windows! Customer support is terrible and just hangs up! PLEASE HELP!...


    So I bought a digital copy of windows and recently changed hardware. I have not been able to activate windows on my new PC. I have called customer support everytime. The one time they actually got me to the right place, they said that their system was down and was unable to generate a new code. So I scheduled a callback the following day. Guess what? No call back. So I call again and try to escalate to a level 2. They schedule another call for me this time within a time frame. GUESS WHAT?!?!? NO call back again. I've been calling the next day voicing my frustration to just get to a level 2. GU

    :)

  2. Windows 10 activations and customer support hanging up on me

    Hi,

    Use the chat support to connect to the support, If you believe it was retail

    Activation depends on what type of license you have of Windows 7/8/10.

    If Windows 7/8/10 came preinstalled with the computer, that is called an OEM license. For an OEM license, the license dies as soon as Motherboard dies. So essentially it is non-transferable. If that is the case you need to get a new license.

    However, this is not same for retail licenses i.e. you purchased the license through Microsoft store. That does carry transfer rights. If that is the case, please see the below steps:

    Run the activation troubleshooter on the new device using the below steps:

    Go to Settings>Update and security>Activation and run the troubleshooter. and select I recently changed hardware on this device.

    Please note that Activation troubleshooter requires you to have digital license linked to Microsoft Account.

    Alternatively, if that does not help, you would have to call Microsoft Support.

    Contact Microsoft using the phone numbers below or use the chat support link(weekdays only)

    Windows 10 pro activation

    Hi,

    If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free and ended up in a non-activated state, try following these steps:

    • Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & security >
      Activation.
    • If your activation status is Connect to the Internet to activate Windows, select Activate to manually activate Windows. If this doesn’t work, you can contact customer support.

    For your reference, we suggest to check the article below when updating Windows 10

    Should you need further information, don't hesitate to contact us.

    Regards.
