    Windows Expire after Factory Reset


    Windows was working perfectly until I factory reset. Then it starts saying Windows Expiring, Activate Windows. Now there is a watermark at the bottom right and when I tried to go to settings, it says "We Can't activate windows on this device as we can't connect to your organization's activation server. blahblahblah" Any idea how to solve this?And also can I use Windows 10 Home product key if my edition is Windows 10 Home Single Language?

    :)

    Windows Expire after Factory Reset

    Ive factory reset my computer but I can't use the mouse or the keyboard to select laugage

    Hi,

    A device like your keyboard and mouse is not detected during factory reset.
    To help us determine the appropriate troubleshooting steps
    that can resolve your concern, we would like to ask the following questions:

    • Are you performing a factory reset on a laptop or a desktop?
    • Is this the first time you perform a factory reset on your device?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far to resolve your concern?

    In the meantime, if you're working on a desktop, we suggest that you try to use a PS2 keyboard just to bypass the installation process. Once Windows is up and running, you may now plug your mouse and keyboard to initialize Windows to detect these devices.

    We look forward to your response.
