    Hello, dear support team and community!Last weekend, I decided to upgrade my Windows 8.1 OS to Windows 10 Home edition using the official ISO file from your website on my old 2013 laptop. I had a legitimate Windows 8.1 license on it and have the product ID and key ready to provide as proof. Unfortunately, after installing the new version of Windows 10 via USB, which I created using your official utility, I lost my license. When I try to activate it again, I receive the error code "0x803fa067." I am prepared to provide all relevant information about my product and am requesting your assistance.

    :)

    From Why can't I activate Windows? - Microsoft Support

    If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free and ended up in a non-activated state, try following these steps:

    • Go to Start

      , then select Settings > Update & security > Activation.
    • Select Go to Store, and check to see if a valid license is available for your device. If a license isn't available, you'll need to buy Windows from the Store.

      Note
      • This only applies if you haven't made changes to the hardware for your device.

    or you could hack it with a crack but please note this is always risky and you don't know what's in the hack

    DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 NOW - Upgrade and ISO direct from microsoft

    Click to expand... Yeah I went to that site, why do I need to buy a key?
    I won't buy a key, stupid.

    I'll revert back to windows 7 then.

    When I still was on windows 7, about a year ago I added 4GB extra ram which is a total of 8GB now,
    is that causing the problem?
