  1. Purchased Windows 10 Pro but can't use and have no access to the license


    I purchased through the microsoft store Windows 10 Pro. At the end of the first portion of the upgrade, there was an error. I tried again and was told I didn't have adequate permissions. I went to log in to microsoft account and can see the purchase but there is no license, no way to refund the amount and wants to charge me now for support. How do I get the license for my purchase?

    :)

    Where to purchase a Windows 10 license for a custom built PC?


    Maybe they didn't have it when you looked earlier, but the Microsoft Store now lists a downloadable Win 10 Pro for purchase:

    Windows 10 Pro: Upgrade or Purchase - Microsoft Store

    This is for the USA. It may be available from your country. (Or not.)

    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

    Purchased Windows 10 Pro but can't use and have no access to the license

    Windows 10 Release Date Announced

    Windows 10 Home will be $119, Pro $199.

    Microsoft: Windows 10 Home costs $119, Pro costs $199



    Which is good news actually, because Windows 8.1 is loads cheaper than previous versions (retail licensing at Windows 7 OEM prices). And it sort of puts a huge hole in the Windows subscription theory.
