  1. Windows 10 Activation


    I have been all over the Microsoft support pages for Activation & nothing works or appears as it should per the instructions. I have a W8 operating system that is upgraded for free & currently on W10 Home ver 1803. My Microsoft Account is linked to the Administrator of this computer. When I go to the Activation menu, the troubleshooter fails with error 0xc0000022. There is NO option to select that I have recently changed hardware. There is NO option to log into my Microsoft account. There are no devices showing for me to even make a selection. Two weeks before I got the Activation message I added a Creative SoundBlaster Omni external sound card that is USB powered. There were no Activation issues until after a 2 week period. I'm not even sure this is a new hardware issue. I did find the original product code but adding that was a failure. I should be on a digital license after the free upgrades to W10 v1803. Thanks for any suggestions in advance. I am located in the UK.

    :)

    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

    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?

    this search might help you https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sou...o+to+get+it+activated+windows+10+blocked+keys

    From http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/why-activate-windows-10

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

    • Go to Start
      Windows 10 Activation [​IMG]
      , 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
