  1. Windows 10 activation after a "System Restore"


    So I recently had some problems with my computer, I upgraded over a year ago from Windows 7 to the free Windows 10 upgrade. Yesterday I had to perform a "System Restore" in which it deleted most of my programs, luckily I backed up my important things. However Windows is now asking me to activate, it has a watermark in the bottom right of my screen. I retrieved a product key from my computer but I get multiple error codes. The first is "We can't activate Windows on this device because you don't have a valid digital license or product key. If you think you do have a valid license or key, select Troubleshoot below. Error code: 0xC004F012."


    When I click on troubleshoot I get "Something interrupted our troubleshooting. Make sure you're connected to the internet, wait a few minutes, and try again. (0xc0000022)." Even when I am on the internet!


    I then click on change my product key and try to put in the key that I have retrieved from my machine and I get this message when entering the key "The product key you entered didn't work. Check the product key and try again, or enter a different one. (0xc0000022)".


    I don't understand what has gone on? I've never had these problems before and I had a genuine version of Windows 7 Home Premium Edition. Do I have to pay for this Windows 10 even though it told me it was a free upgrade at the time? If any other information is required I can provide.


    Thank you.

    :)

  2. Windows XP PRO error after restore

    System restore is handy when it works like it did for me 2 days ago saving the need to reinstall all of my software as well as windows, id suggest using norton Ghost 12 for an excellent system restore feature.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 activation after a "System Restore"

    Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

    How long did you wait for activation?
    When I re-installed with a fresh install... it took a few hours to sync and activate.
    However, it did, finally, activate.
