Windows 10: Windows Not Getting Activated

I have a LAPTOP which had preinstalled Windows 8.1.


Recently, I used the free upgrade to Windows 10. The windows did not get activated. The Microsoft account linked to Windows 8.1 was different but now I have changed the account.


Can anyone please tell me how can I transfer the digital licence from that account to this one?


OR


Is there any other way of activating the windows OR Knowing The Product Key?


NOTE:- I Have Tried Running Command Prompt And Was Not Able To Find Anything.

Hi Johncy,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I can imagine the inconvenience you have experienced. I will definitely help you with this.

To guide you in right direction we want to know:

• Have you activated your Previous version of Windows?

Windows is not activated as your previous version of Windows, your device was not activated prior to upgrade to Windows 10

We suggest you to follow the below steps and check:

• Go to Start.
• Select Settings .
• Go to Update & security.
• Go Activation .
• Click Change product key.
• Enter your Windows 10, Windows 8 or Windows 7 and click Next
  to complete activation.

If the issue still persist get back to us.

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.
