    Wierd activation problem - wndows 10


    I originally obtained windows 10 using a Windows 7 activation key. I believe it said that the W7 key would be voided when doing so. Windows 10 installed no hastles and has been running for about a year now, no hastles.


    The system was running overnight. When I sat down this afternoon I was greated by a watermark in the lower right stating that I needed to activate Windows. When attempting to activate, on activation screen it says it can't access my "organisation's activation server" error 0x8007007B. On further investigation I find it has changed the version from Home to Enterprise!


    I try to replace the key with the Windows 7 on I originally used but it won't accept it.


    Any ideas??

    :)

    Wierd activation problem - wndows 10

    Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
