    Unable to activate Windows.


    I raised a support ticket 2 weeks ago, which Microsoft support appear to have now closed with 0 contact. Since they're clearly not interested I figured I'd ask here.I rebuilt a PC recently and re-isntalled windows on it, I have 3 Windows 10/11 digital licences all bought separately from the store tied to my account. 2 are currently in use for other PCs around the house.When I go to activate windows, I go through the process of 'Troubleshoot' > 'I've recently changed hardware on this PC' then select 'I'm using this PC' on what I presume to be the old iteration of the current machine I'm us

    :)

    Unable to Activate Win 8

    I got Win 8 isntalled on my file server, but I am unable to activate it with the key. Says the key is invalid. Since I work at microsoft I got a retail version from the employee store. I have been doing some reading, and to be able to activate Win8 with the key there needs to be a previous version of Windows installed for it to work. WTF, so you can't do clean installs?

    And the box says nothing about Upgrade version. Straight Windows 8 Pro.
