    WIndows Activation Key


    I just got this PC from best buy and when I tried to change sound settings on it it says I need an activation key. I don't have one and it says it would come with the PC but couldn't find anything. I contacted Best Buy and it would cost money to help. I just want to talk to people on CSGO with my Xbox headset but won't let me. I got this pc on Thursday, February 27, 2020.

    :)

    activate windows 7 oem key

    There is no difference between the OEM disc and the Retail disc with Windows 7. A retail disc will accept a OEM or Retail key, and vise versa.

    If the OEM Key wasn't going to work with the disc you have, it would have stopped you during the install when it first asked you for the key, not during activation.

    What is likely the problem is that, since the OEM version has already been activated once, it is failing activation again. Activate it over the phone using the option given to you on the failed activation screen, and you shouldn't have a problem activating it.

    Windows 8.1 pro + WMC key activation

    This worked for me last time with a Win 8 key.

    Install Windows 8.1 and enter KMS key during setup. Once in windows change product key to my Windows 8 key. Go to add features and enter my WMC add-on key. Drink a beer to a job well done.
