  1. Windows say not activated on PC purchased with Windows installed


    I have a Powerspec Microcenter brand PC with Windows 10 Pro. The system came with 10 Pro installed, and after completing installation it showed as activated. Twice now, Windows has since told me it is not activated. The first time I found the activation option and without me entering anything it re-activated. Now it's done it again, and I can't figure out how to reactivate it. I've gone to the Activation page in settings, and all it says is "Windows is not activated." There is no option showing to activate it. I was using a local account, because my backup solution doesn't seem to like when

    :)

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
