    Windows 10 activation gift for friend, receiving their family activity emails instead of them


    For Christmas I built a computer for my friend's daughter. When I bought the activation for the Windows 10 install I had to use my Paypal account information, which automatically entered all my information all over their Microsoft account & computer. Since then I have been receiving their family activity emails and screen time extension requests for the child. I was with them at their computer when they removed all of my information & replaced it with theirs. We cannot figure out why I am still receiving the emails instead of them. I checked my own Microsoft account & there is no information about my friend's device or family so it must be on their account, somewhere. We just can't figure out where. Any ideas?

    :)

    Yeah they blacklisted the insider keys at RTM, so u need to activate it again. They're using KMS server activation, so there's only handful of keys.

    If you don't have any luck I can show another quicker method...lol

    This kinda sucks. However, if one is upgrading from a retail W7/8, then it should activate on different hardware, with possible phone activation required if it's been over 120 days or whatever the timeout period is now since the last activation. Remember to erase the copy on the old hardware, of course.

    Family activity report

    Hi Javier,

    There are ways on how to manage activity reporting for your child. To configure your account settings, here are the steps:

    • Go to the account.microsoft.com/family site at Microsoft on any PC
    • Then sign-in
    • Open Settings
    • Tap on the Accounts icon
    • Click on Family and other users on the left side
    • Chose Manage family settings online
    • Check recent activity link for the child's account

    Turn On and Manage Activity Reporting for Child

    • Click on Recent activity on the left side, and turn on Activity reporting.
    • Check or uncheck to Email weekly reports to me for what you want.
    • Under Web browsing, Apps and games etc., you can view your child's recent activity for each one, tap on Change settings
    • Then set allowed times to manage them, and to block any apps and games.

    To Turn Off Activity Reporting for your Child, just tap on Recent activity on the left side, and turn off Activity reporting on the right side.

    Get back to us if the steps won't work.
