Windows 10: Recovery key

Like many of u I have a love/hate relationship with MS. Lately it’s plunged into the hate column. For the first time in 40 years of internet use yes, 40 years MS locked up my laptop and I had no Recovery Key even though I NEVER encrypted my system or asked for Bitlock! And when I tried to recover the key MS said I had no recovery key in my account. I have so far lost 2 full days trying to fix it to no avail and am now resigned to losing the last 2 years of work product. My bad…I wasn’t backed up!Anyone else want to comment?

one key recovery

Hi Nawaxx,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

I suggest you to download and install the latest software for ‘One Key Recovery’ from the manufacturer website and check if it helps.

If the issue still persists, uninstall the software and install it in compatibility mode by following the steps below:

• Right click on the ‘Setup’ icon for the driver and click on properties.
• Under Compatibility tab, check the option for Run in Compatibility mode.
• Select Windows 8 from the drop down list.
• Click on Apply and then OK.
• Install the driver software.

Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.
