  1. Lost activation key after reinstalling windows


    Hi,
    A few days ago when I turned my PC it went to a blue screen and I had an "Error code 0xc000001 - Recovery: Your PC Couldn't Start Properly" - I have tried everything the internet offered to fix this problem but it didn't help and I had no choice but reinstalling the windows. After I reinstalled the windows, the windows was not activated because I don't have the key I tried to run the activation troubleshoot but I get an error 0x80070005 "Something interrupted our troubleshooting. Make sure you're connected to the internet" I'm connected to the internet. I have ASUS laptop n56vj, I have installed windows 10 pro if it helps.


    How do I recover my activation key?

    :)

    lost windows activation key, need new free os thats just as easy as windows

    Basiclly i came to reinstall windows, formatted my harddrive then when it came to activate i lost my oem key thing, it wasnt a sticker on my case but printed out and ive lost it. I no, noway of getting it back so i need an alternative os thats easy to use. Linux was way too hard for me. Things like updating flash player etc with windows you just doubble click the icon then next till its done, linux on the other hand was allot harder. So guys any advice?

    So Windows is already installed and refuses to activiate or are you not getting through the install because you don't have to key to put in the boxes?

    If you were never prompted for a key, the key is embeded in the install disk. You can retrieve the key via the registry.

    If the activation wizard is being bitchy as usual, it gives you the phone number you have to call. Call them up, explain your situation, and they'll give you what you need to make it go away.
