  1. Windows product not active after update??! Windows 10


    Hi,


    Ive obviously made the fools error of allowing windows to apply an update to my laptop and now my laptop is barely functioning because it is telling me my product is no longer active even though it is the same version of windows 10 as it was previously and all i did was allow an update?


    The error message im getting is this:

    We cant activate windows on this device because you dont have a valid digital license or product key. If you think you do have a valid license or key, select Troubleshoot below. Error code: 0xC004F012.


    My laptop came with windows 10 home preinstalled so i had no key but i have downloaded a tool to retrieve the product key i presume from my digital license but when i try to manually enter that key it still tells me its not valid...


    Does anyone have an idea as to what i can do?


    cheers,

    Kirsty

    :)

    Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

    How long did you wait for activation?
    When I re-installed with a fresh install... it took a few hours to sync and activate.
    However, it did, finally, activate.

    If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free and ended up in a non-activated state, try following these steps:

    • Go to Start

      , then select Settings > Update & security > Activation.
    • Select Go to Store, and check to see if a valid license is available for your device. If a license isn't available, you'll need to buy Windows from the Store.

      Note
      • This only applies if you haven't made changes to the hardware for your device.

    or you could hack it with a crack but please note this is always risky and you don't know what's in the hack

    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
