Windows 10: Why would Acer corp. keep teeling me my "product key" for my Windows 8.1 isn't correct

Every time I go to Acer website and try to do anything that they want my product key for, They tell me its not the right product key. I got the key directly out of my computer through command prompt. I don't see how it wouldn't be right.

Printer isn´t working after latest update.

After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

I don't think that tool asks for a key if you are running the version of Windows you are trying to download the ISO for.

You haven't lost it.

It's embedded in the BIOS, not the hard drive.

With Windows 8/8.1 The Product Key on preinstalled Operating Systems (HP, Acer, etc) is embedded in the BIOS in the Motherboard, so that the lost and/or worn C.O.A. Sticker problem is no more.

When you reinstall it will pick up the Product Key and activate the system automatically.

If it does not or you have activation problems, follow these steps:
