  1. updating product key


    Why does W10 keep asking for the software key to be re installed after updates .

    The USB I have failed and I used a local repair agent to correct the system who loaded the 'shop ' version to my m/c and now it keeps asking for the key ( which I don't have) to be re installed . The key supplied with the USB does not recognise now on the system. .

    :)

  3. Convert a Windows 8pro product key to a Windows 10pro produkt key

    Hi Andre,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft community.

    I suggest you to Uninstall the license using the following steps.

    • Press Windows key + X
    • Click Command Prompt (Admin)
    • At the command prompt, type: slmgr.vbs -upk
    • Press Enter, this will uninstall the product key from the computer.
    Further on, install Windows 8.1 activate the copy with the product key on the new machine. Then again upgrade the same to Windows 10 using Window Update or Media Creation Tool.

    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
