  1. Windows 10 activation


    So I just got this Dell Optiplex 990 and it booted up just fine. Had no need to activate windows, no warnings came up, nothing. Then I started to use it for gaming, I needed a GPU so I got a GTX 1050ti. Along with that I got a Thermaltake 700w Power supply. When I put both of those into my computer I booted it up and then my computer was yelling at me to reactivate windows 10. I went to my settings>update and security>activation and then I pressed troubleshoot. It then said "Cant apply windows to this pc" or something like that. And I tried contacting Microsoft from the cellphone number given, but it said that they were closed. So now I have 2 problems. My windows 10 not activated. And google saying that the number is available 24 hours a day yet no one was there to help me. On that note. Any Ideas?

    :)

    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?

    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
