  1. Windows 10 Activation


    Please, I earlier created and posted the following complain to the Community as indicated below.

    “My laptop PC has Windows 10 Pro installed on it but not activated. When I tried to activate the windows, I got a message with “Error Code: 0x8007007B”. A further troubleshoot indicated that I have a digital license for Windows 10 Home, but Windows 10 Pro is installed thereby not allowing the Windows to activate. An instruction was further given that to enable me to activate using my digital license, I will need to install Windows 10 Home. I followed the detailed instruction and using the tool described, I created the installation media, run it to reinstall the correct Windows 10 Home on the PC, which has the digital license for Windows 10 Home but Windows 10 Pro installed. However, the installation does not provide me with an option to select “install windows 10 Home” rather it automatically defaults to “upgrade to Windows 10 Pro” thereby not allowing me to make the clean “installation of Windows 10 Home” on the PC to enable me to activate the windows. Kindly advise me on what to do to enable me to resolve this matter and to activate my PC. Thanks. Mr. Bumba.”



    I subsequently got two replies, which I did follow the instructions given, created the ei.cfg file and copied into the Sources Folder in my Installation Media but the installation still defaults to “Install Windows 10 Pro.”



    Kindly assist me, please.



    Thank you.

    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?

    DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 NOW - Upgrade and ISO direct from microsoft

    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
