Windows 10: Windows 10 Activation

Discus and support Windows 10 Activation in Windows 10 Updates and Activation to solve the problem; I have downloaded and installed Windows 10 Free as an upgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate.

  1. Windows 10 Activation


    I have downloaded and installed Windows 10 Free as an upgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate. This is because Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft.
    Although free I understand I will be billed for the Security component in Windows 10. Windows 10 is up and running and is automatically downloading Updates as they occur but keeps calling for Activation key.


    W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX

    I have tried at great length and without success to Activate and Personalise Windows using above key which I was given
    How can I either download and pay for a working/valid activation key /license from Microsoft store?


    OR

    Purchase an OEM copy of Windows 10 from Microsoft?

    Can you help a loyal, long time Microsoft end user please?

    :)

    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
