    Windows 10 Activation shows up and only replaced bad bios battery and did latest Win10 update


    Windows 10 was running fine after I changed the battery. But after latest Win10 update it's saying there was a hardware change. PC was activated new 1-14-22 and did updates then as well with no issues.The PC is an older Dell and refurbished by an authorized Dell company JoySystems and sell their Dells through Staples website. When I received the PC it setup ok but if I left the unit off over night the date and time had to be set and the hard drive had to be listed as 1st on the boot list. Windows 10 Never asked too be activated again. But yesterday Replaced battery and did the newest update to

    Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

    When in win10:
    • Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....
    Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
    - Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.
