  1. Windows 10 Activation


    Hello. I am having trouble activating my copy of Windows 10 Pro. I bought it from the Windows Store. I ran the troubleshooter but I get the following: Windows is not activated
    We can’t activate Windows on this device as the previous version of Windows was not activated prior to upgrading to Windows 10. Go to the Store to buy
    genuine Windows. Error code: 0x803F7001. I upgraded from Windows Home. For some reason, it's saying it's Windows 10 Enterprise, but I bought Pro. How do I fix this? I can install apps, but I can't change some PC settings, probably due to it not beeing activated. I know it was activated before I upgraded. Thanks.
    Also, I tried to reset the PC and re-install everything thinking that it would fix the problem, but it didn't.

    :)

    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
