    Unable to activate Windows 10 home on a new build.


    I just finished a new build and Windows will not activate. I purchased Windows 10 home USB with a key card. I have tried several times to activate but keep getting an error message that "We weren't able to activate windows on this device" I ran window update several times and it has completely updated.


    The version currently installed is Version 1909 OS Build 18363.1256


    What gives? Nothing like paying for a legit license of Windows then having to deal with this ****.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
