    Hi, in 2015 I built a PC with windows 10 (I did in fact, purchase the key. ^^Re-using my Windows 10 key to activate Windows again. ;) and at the time, it was all good. After two months, my PC had some really bad, fatal errors that resulted in me needing to send my PC in to get fixed. They fixed the issue, but having gotten my PC back after it looks like they re-installed windows completely my version of windows no longer seems to be correct. I've dealt with not having the key for awhile, but it's gotten to the point that I can't ignore it anymore. How can I re-use the key I purchased? I have the key



    But trying to reuse it.. it simply doesn't work. It tells me I can't connect to my organization's server.. but this PC is a personal PC, it never belonged to an organization.


    It's a Windows 10 Pro.

    :)

  2. 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.

    DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 NOW - Upgrade and ISO direct from microsoft

    Click to expand... Yeah I went to that site, why do I need to buy a key?
    I won't buy a key, stupid.

    I'll revert back to windows 7 then.

    When I still was on windows 7, about a year ago I added 4GB extra ram which is a total of 8GB now,
    is that causing the problem?

    From http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/why-activate-windows-10

    If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free and ended up in a non-activated state, try following these steps:

    • Go to Start

      , then select Settings > Update & security > Activation.
    • Select Go to Store, and check to see if a valid license is available for your device. If a license isn't available, you'll need to buy Windows from the Store.

      Note
      • This only applies if you haven't made changes to the hardware for your device.

    or you could hack it with a crack but please note this is always risky and you don't know what's in the hack
