    Windows won't activate because it's activated on other devices even though it's not


    My windows 10 key won't work even though it's not activated on any other computer, is this an issue because my old computer is not up to date, or another issue?

    :)

    Windows activation . . .

    In the Windows activation status page is it still showing as activated, or do you have something like 3 days to do it in?

    Windows won't activate because it's activated on other devices even though it's not

    Windows Vista Activation

    I have 4 sytems in my home running vista(1 ult.-3 prem).The ultimate & 1 premium took SP1
    wthout a hitch.1 premium required re-activation?,The other premium did not list SP1 in windows up-date,So i manually installed it without any re-activation required.
    Also have to add that SP1 has increased performance in every comp.The ultimate machine actually got a 1,100 point increase in 3d 06 without any other changes at all.
