Windows 10: Windows 10 activation

Hi,
I purchased/installed windows 10 pro from ebay (CoA). I enter the PK and windows does get activated.
<This PC><properties> displays: "Windows is activated" . I'm used to seeing a genuine stamp on the left
side of the screen, it's not there.
Has windows dropped this or do I need to do something?
Thanks,
Keith

Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

OK, so i figured it out myself

Found the logfile in "C:\Windows\Minidump".

You need the Windows Development Kit to open it and a bit of googling to understand it.

Found out that a Daemon driver caused an error. Removed Daemon but this didn't solve it. (ps: Daemon itself worked normally).

I let hibernate my computer again and found another error with sptd2.sys: SCSI Pass Through Direct layer

More google and ended up on the duplexsecure site. Downloaded the W10 version and voila: problem fixed.

For the Windows support team: It would be really helpfull if you could pass problems to a more skilled helpdesk who can do more than proposing the standard solutions in case those won't work.

Cheers

 

Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

OK, so I also found out that this occurs when sleepmode (for me after 3 hours) changes into hibernate mode.

Seems like the going into hibernate and/or starting up from HIbernate results in a shutdown. In safeboot it works perfectly.

Anyone any idea how I can figure out where it goes wrong. Is there a way to log this (I couldn't find it in bootlog)

 

That's normal for Windows 10. Also look in Settings > Update & security > Activation, it will say activated with a Product key or activated with a digital license.

 

Yes but he last 5 characters of the PK are not what I entered.

 

I can't explain that, I have no idea why they don't match?
Did you actually get a COA sticker with the key on it? Or just a photo shot of it?
Did you clean install, or do a change product key to an already installed Windows 10?
