    Microsoft Explains When You Need a Windows 10 Product Key and When You


    Phone them again (and again). Some of their engineers are better than others.

    They seem to have a list of "go away" answers like "restore back and upgrade again" or "the line is very bad" or "can I have your number" or "we have a technical issue at the moment try in 2 days".

    If you get any of these just hang up and try again. And again. 2 times now I've had clean install fail to activate (on the same hardware). I've been given 2 new Windows 10 keys to use.

    It is untrue that you always get activated when you clean install after having a activated 10.. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

    I agree. I had to call and got transferred twice, but then I got a level two agent who remoted in and not only fixed the activation issue but inserted a retail product key in the bargain. Now I have a free $200 product key for my trouble. Great service.
