    Unable to activate Windows 10 on a retired business laptop, please help.


    I received a laptop from a friend that had been retired from use at his company. I have tried everything I can find to activate Windows 10 on the laptop but it keeps telling me "can't connect to organizations activation server." How do I fix this so that I can use Windows 10?

    :)

    Business laptop suggestions

    Can anyone suggest any business laptops between £300-£400?
    Although I'm not quite sure what makes a laptop a "business" one? (it's not for me lol)
