    Secondary license not working?


    I am trying to install Windows 10 on a new PC for a friend of mine. She bought a secondary licence of Windows 10 Pro, but the key just doesn't work.
    Not even the setup recognizes it, giving me "We couldn't verify the product key. Please check your installation media" error.

    When I try to activate it post-installation, I get these errors:

    apparently it's a Dell OEM licence but that shouldn't matter, should it?

    The most bizarre thing is I managed to activate it on my own PC right away.

    What the hell is going on here?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 1909 Causes Secondary Hard Drive to not be Recognized

    Installing the Windows 10 1909 Update causes my secondary hard drive to not be recognized.

    Steps to confirm issue:

    • Secondary drive not visible in Windows Explorer
    • Secondary drive not visible in device manager
    • Secondary drive not visible in disk manager

    Steps to replicate issue:

    • Installing 1909 update

    Steps to resolve issue:

    • Uninstall 1909 update

    Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.
