  1. Upgraded Windows 11 Home to Windows 11 Pro through Store - Activation failed


    Hi, We bought a new laptop with Windows 11 Home installed. We needed Win 11 Pro for domain services. So, we went to the Store and upgraded to Win 11 Pro for 130$. After following the steps for upgrading, it changed to Windows 11 Enterprise and says cant activate windows on this device because you dont have a digital license or product key. I clicked on Troubleshoot and still got cant Activate and said to ask for Help. Error code was : 0xC004C003. Need help asap since it is for business. Tried windows updates, didnt work.I can provide the order details if needed.

    :)

    Windows 8 Upgrade Streamlined to 11 Clicks

    For those who upgrade between succeeding versions of Microsoft Windows, the upgrade installer can be cumbersome. There are way too many prompts and clicks. Microsoft is working to make the upgrade package of its next major version of Windows, for now referred to as Windows 8, streamlined to as few as 11 clicks. The new installer will be designed to perform most of its tasks without needing user input.

    Microsoft will implement a new web-delivery method, where you purchase your Windows 8 license online, and the installer downloads your soft copy to you. It is pre-fed with your 25-character product key. Microsoft's next major Windows release is slated for 2012.

  3. Windows 10 Upgrade within Parallels 11

    i am currently running Parallels 11 with Windows 7 Pro on my Apple Mac 2010 27inch. when trying to upgrade the Windows Virtual Window to Windows 10 I get the error message that I do not have enough Ram. The Apple Mac has 8gb of Memory whereas the upgrade
    requires only 2gb.

    I have no problems with running Parallels 11 with Windows 7 Pro but would like to complete the step and upgrade the Virtual window to Windows 10.

    Any ideas please
