  1. License problem


    I have a laptop from Dell. I attempted to upgrade Windows 10 to Pro, but it turned out the key I had been sold was not legal and it is now telling me that my Windows is unlicensed. I don't have my original Dell key anywhere I can find. I bought a new Home key from Microsoft but I get this error when I try to use it: "The product key you entered didn't work. Check the product key or enter a different one. (0xc004f050)". I have quite a lot of stuff installed and I would rather not lose the installation.


    Please help

    :)

    Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...


    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

    Intel Could License AMD Radeon iGPU Tech for Future Processors

    personally i think this is no different than what nvidia and intel doing right now with their current cross licensing deal. intel have been licensing nvidia IP for years and yet their gpu did not work like nvidia gpu at all. in another forum i see one of intel graphic engineer talking about the deal with nvidia is more about letting intel develop their own gpu without illegally stepping into nvidia existing IP and not about integrating nvidia tech into their gpu.

    though what kyle been suggesting is something quite different. he said it is not a simply licensing it is more like intel want the entire RTG for themselves. means no more AMD radeon. but intel radeon instead.

    License problem

    Need some advice on computer problems.

    Run HDtune (free version) on you hard drive. but most likely that the problem. You can also test your memory with Memtest86 as suggested above

    You didn't list your OS
