    w10 activation key needed


    I bought w10 pack and installed ok. system failed at some point . went to local pc shop / Iteck - Lampeter.

    system reloaded with their version of w10.

    system now asking for activation key, which I don't have ( digital version used)

    company now packed up and not available

    how do I solve the key problem as my key will not activate the shop version.

    do I reload the complete system or what?

    :)

    Not only that, you can check your M$ account and see what devices are listed there, so you know if you can do a clean install or not. Do the upgrade, get it activated, verify that it is listed in your account, then feel free to do a fresh install without activation issues ever.

    You don't get a key, and if you use a keyfinder utility it just returns a generic public key that won't activate. They have updated their activation system with Win10, the OS will attempt to activate without a key and match your hardware ID to one stored in the activation servers. If the hardware ID matches your copy will activate with no key required. According to the FAQ, if you make "significant changes" to your hardware you may have to contact Microsoft tech support.

    According to what I've read, if you have a retail version your upgrade is also retail and can be move between computers. That is where contacting tech support comes in.

    Part of their upgrade licencing for all their upgrade versions has said the key becomes invalid. I would assume it is buried in the upgrade license for Win10 as well.

    Yup! I saw it in there this morning. I really like this new activation route they have gone so far. Super easy to maintain.
