    Never heard of a Key Expiring Window 10 issue


    Greetings


    My brother has bought a computer from a amazon prebuild gaming pc for around 500-600 dollars. this was in June. we had few problem with it but not as bad what about to ask about.


    5 days ago he had WIFI adapter issue that i was able to fix for a little while until happen with different WIFI adapter card . any way gonna fast forward to the real problem.


    After 6th day after he update this pc to last stable version of windows 10 . we got a notice saying that his key has expire or the person who build his pc has used one of the dirt cheap keys. I have never heard of a Microsoft window key expiring. is this possible at all?

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

    windows 10 key

    Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?

    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
