  1. Windows 10 Activation


    So i changed my motherboard and cpu and new windows wouldn´t activate. So i bought a new one from the internet. I had windows 10 home before and i bought windows 10 pro key. The key came in an email, so i entered it in the windows activation settings. It worked fine, a new update was made from home to pro version and everything was fine. Until today i got a message in the rght bottom corner of my screen saying: Activate Windows. So i headed into the settings and it says : Edition : Windows 10 Pro
    Activation : System windows isnt activated
    Id number: 00330-80124-42624-AA015
    And a product key number : XXXXX.......


    Then it says: We cant activate windows because code product key was used on a different device 0xC004C008

    I bought the product key and it installed the pro version. Is that because the key i bought off the site was used? Does it take some time to activate?
    Is there a fix to it? I dont want to buy a new one ;

    My Windows is Windows 10 Version 1909

    :)

    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
