    Unable to activate Windows


    Morning all,


    I have a bit of an issue. I recently changed my motherboard due to it being busted and I was able to get an exact replacement. I have my Windows 10 licence via the upgrade program a few years ago. I deactivated my windows from the old one and tried to activate it on the new motherboard but comes up with an issue.


    I enter troubleshooting, I click I changed something about my hardware, a new section with my desktop appears and I click this is the device I am using at the moment and hit activate but comes up with the error, Unable to activate Windows, We can activate Windows on this device. Try again later. I dont have my old motherboard as I had to return it but I made sure to remove windows licence from my account on that old hardware.


    What should I do

    :)

    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.
