    Restore activation windows fails


    Need help
    I clean install my windows 10 build 16299.125 and cannot active after using key and restore the spp/store folder
    before I always succeed restore activation
    I previously backed up my token store
    there are three activations namely windows.office.visio.project
    and it always works when I restore when doing a clean install
    but somehow after i did clean install to 16299.125 my windows can not active.
    only office.visio.project
    I do not change hardware. and I am confused why only windows that just can not be active. while office.visio.project can be active
    I have also done a backup on microsoft toolkit.opa backup and other software restore activation
    but windows can't be active. and it seems my serial windows no longer valid. how to overcome this?

    now i'm trying to install old version windows 10 build 16299.64 and 16299.15
    whether windows updates can affect my windows activation

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Failed then Fails to restore to windows 8

    We have had a customer bring us their Asus x550ca-xx249h Laptop in for repair.

    They had windows 8.1 and upgraded using the reserve your windows 10 all good!

    but 2 days later windows fails to load start menu

    so the customer types recovery & restores to previous version of windows

    but if fails with boot inaccessible.

    That where we take over. the customer askes us to factory restore it to windows 8.1, so we press F9 on boot and use the asus built in recovery to restore the computer to Like new

    but after completion the windows asks to activate ??

    so we click activate and is asks for a key

    if I type slui.exe 3 or 4

    we get it to generate a product id but after calling product activation live and MS tech support we are told the oem product key is block

    & we need to contact asus for a new key

    Asus say they cant give us a new key call Microsoft as its their problem

    so Microsoft how to we resolve this issues for the customer

    just to recap

    genuine windows 8.1 upgraded to 10 - restore to window 8.1 fails - recovered with Asus Built in factory oem software-- activation fails

    cheers

  3. windows 10 activation ceased after bios update

    backup doesn't protect from this type of activation fault,

    restoring a backup in this case would still have given the same error about failed activation.

    Restore activation windows fails

    If your Windows 10 was activated before, then you have a digital licence stored on Microsoft's activation servers tied to the hardware of your PC. You should be able to do a clean install and skip entering a key (click 'I don't have a key' when asked) and it will activate automatically as soon as it can contact the activation servers.

    The digital licence is only valid for one edition (Home or Pro). It is vital you do a clean install of the same edition as you had before. If it is not activating you may have installed the wrong one. If you had Home before you must install Home again, or if you had Pro you must install Pro.

    My guess is that you installed the wrong edition.

    Windows activation doesn't expire.

    Only Insider builds have an expiry date, or versions of Windows that were activated by a Key Management System (KMS) either legally on a company network, or illegally with a KMS 'hack'.
