Windows 10: Need solution for the Windows 10 OS Error 0x8008005

Greetings,I'm having trouble with updating my Windows 10 Pro edition ; I bought the PC with already installed Windows 10 Pro and pretty much never had issues until yesterday where I see the "Activate Windows" pop-up on the bottom of the screen. Troubleshooting won't fix and I'm not really sure what is the meaning behind ofthe error code "0x8008005". I'm running out of options, is there still a way to "save" and update Windows or do I need to buy another version, if that's even possible and worth it?Much thanks in advance.

Windows 8.1 upgrade to Windows 10 error code 0x8008005-0x90016

Trying for months to upgrade Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and keep getting this error code 0x8008005-0x90016 and to contact Microsoft Customer Support. There seems to be no way to contact Microsoft for help other than these same questions with no help or real
answers. Is there a way to receive a Windows 10 DVD when the program continually fails to download?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
