  1. Re-activate again + restore point help.


    So I upgraded my Windows from 7 to 10, follow their process to get the new key when they allowed free upgrade at the time. This was about 3-4-5 years ago, I dont remember.

    Now I was considering doing a reformat and clean install of windows because I havent done a reformat in 3-4-5 years. I figure let me take a short cut, cause I dont remember where I put my window keys, so I will just use day 1 restore point when I first installed win10.

    Now I have the watermark saying I need to activate my key. I tried troubleshooting and it says it cant find it. Produkey found the serial but it doesn't look like the one I had. I remember the random letter had FTH cause I would say "For The Horde." IT also shows another line that is saying missing.

    So basically - this is a paid win, I dont have my win 7 with me anymore, I dont remember what I did with my win key and I want to reformat my PC anyways. I don't have faith with the serial Produkey is giving me either.

    What do u guys recommend?

    System restore point automatic create not working....need help.

    Were you seeing CAPI2 errors with Macrium & System Restore.

    And after enabling system protection.
    1) Does System Protection automatically create and populate checkpoints to list.
    Does System Protection create restore points when called by a program and populate checkpoints to list.

    2) I'd like to confirm whether my issue is unique to me or common.
    My issue is that I can manually create restore points okay and those manual created will populate to my list.
    Automatic restore points do not populate to my list. Albeit, Task Scheduler shows Last Run time change.
    Automatic restore points do not populate to my list e.g., with Windows Updates.
    When create restore point is called by a program. I see activity that suggest restore point is being created ...but, again the activity does not translate to an entry in my list.

    How to delete inactive System Image Restore Points in System Restore

    Windows 10 64-bit.
    When I click "show more restore points" in System Restore I see a bunch of old "system image restore points" that were deleted in past and do not correspond to any currently active restore points. Clicking any of these old restore points, I simply get an error message saying they could not be found, and to select another restore point instead.I would like to delete these restore points listings but have been unable to do so.
    So far, I have tried steps mentioned below without any luck :

    Disk Cleanup through (CRe-activate again + restore point help. :) Properties
    Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (CRe-activate again + restore point help. :)
    Disk Space Usage to minimum (slider button all the way to the left then 'Delete all restore points for this drive'),
    Delete all shown Restore points in CCleaner (the problem ones do not show here),
    Reset Windows Backup to Default in Windows 10 with 'Reset_Windows_Backup.bat' utility.

    Any suggestions highly welcome.
