    Windows License Issues


    I've factory reset my computer, as I do around every year. I wanted a clean start and was going to purchase Windows 10 Pro after it was completed.


    Before the fresh install of Windows (I reset when booting it up, not through settings) was installed I could see through Settings > Update & Security > Activation > Go to Store I had the option to buy Windows 10 Pro. I figured this would work similarly after I had reset the computer as I had gone through the procedure a few times before.


    Now when I try and buy Windows 10 Pro, I get directed to a "get genuine windows" page, where grey text displays the message "We're not sure how you got here, but you can't buy this version of Windows 10."


    I've been pulling my hair out surfing through forum posts and such, but I just cannot seem to get this to work at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    windows licensing issue

    k so the place where i work is around 4000 computers now and we r finally talking about moving to XP. i have a bit of a licensing issue that im curious on. all of the computers we purchase come with a windows xp OEM key. but to build a business wide image i have to use a volume license key installer. the head man thinks it is perfectly legal for me to come up with any random volume license key code to use on our image installer since each machine has a lisence stuck to it already. even though thouse licenses are for an oem install... for now im going to assume all the licenses on computers are actually for xp pro also, and not home, becuz then it would for sure not be legal.

    im just kinda curious of peeples views becuz i know how stict the uela is. and for 1 or 2 computers i wouldnt care but where im setting up 4000 computers for a government agency i would like to not hav the licensing fall back on me.
