    Windows 10 activiation issue


    Hello,


    I had opted for an free upgrade from Microsoft windows 7 home basic to windows 10 pro in 2016. In the meantime I never realized that windows was not activated as my laptop was rarely used & I had no issues browsing and using the computer, But now When I try to activate , there is an error message" Windows cant activate."


    I have a Sony E series laptop which had original windows 7 home basic . I tried with the product key available for Win 7, but no success.

    Please could you let me know how can I find live help from Microsoft to resolve this issue.


    Thanks for your support.

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    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

    It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

    Heres a couple examples:

    Here

    It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

    I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
