Windows 10: Windows 10 "student key"

Hi.

About 3 years ago I bought a windows 10 licence key provided by my university. I installed windows with the ISO supplied by the store and also the product key.

Recently, I had to reinstall windows on my machine and I went to the store to redownload the ISO and get the product key and found the following message:


This item is no longer available for download from this site. Please contact Microsoft or continue browsing the great deals on this store.




Link to the store:

University: Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya

So here I am. This is the only way I found contacting "microsoft". I hope someone could help me either contacting microsoft or getting my licence and iso back




Thanks!

:)

 

windows 10 key

Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?

 

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

 

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
