Microsofts Activation services phone #?

So I had an old rig that was running a RETAIL version of Win XP Home. Well the thing died. I want to use the product key from that old machine to do a win 7 upgrade, however, I cannot seem to find Microsoft's support number anywhere on their site, instead it redirects me to a page and here's what it says:

Well guess freakin what, THE COMPUTER IS DEAD, THEREFORE I CAN NOT DO ANY OF THOSE DAMN THINGS!!!!!!! *Bang Head :banghead:

This is seriously getting on my nerves!

Even googling it takes me to the same place. Does anyone have the number for their "Activation services" department?

 

Error: 0xC004C008 when trying to activate Windows after hardware change

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues with activating Windows 10 on your PC after a hardware change, and I certainly appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve the issue by following certain troubleshooting steps.



The error 0xC004C008 means that the product key has already been used on a different PC. For more information refer the article

Since you have already tried using the Activation troubleshooter I would suggest you to try activating the copy of Windows using Phone Activation.

1. Press Windows key + R. This will open
   Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for Run.
   
2. In Run dialog box, type SLUI 04 and hit
   Enter.
   
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
   

However, it would be great if you can get in touch with our Technical Support team using the

Chat or
Call channel for further assistance with the issue as they have the right tools and access to assist you better with the query.
