  1. Windows won't activate on my device


    Hi there!I have just upgraded to a new system ROG motherboard, Intel 14th gen i5 cpu, gigabyte 3060 gpu and have been trying to activate the windows using the product key I deactivated from my old system on this one. Here's what I did step by step:On my old system Windows 10 I went on the Command Prompt and typed 'slmgr -dli' to see if I have a retail key or an OEM key. After verifying its a retail license, I used a PC audit software to access my product key. Copied and saved it on txt file in order to activate on my new system. Back at the Command Prompt I typed 'slmgr.vbs /upk' in order

    Hi Zain,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

    Provide us with the below details for better clarity on the issue.

    • Why are you not able to install Windows 10?
    • Are you getting any error message or code?

    I suggest you to unplug all external devices connected to the pc and restart the system to check if you are able to get to the desktop screen.

    You can use the media creation tool to upgrade your current PC to Windows 10 or to create a USB or DVD and install Windows 10 on a different PC. As you are upgrading to Windows 10 on the same computer activation would not be an issue.

    cortana won`t talk to me

    Hi Steven,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    It's unfortunate that you are facing this issue. Let me assist you to resolve the issue.

    I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down the issue and to provide you better assistance.

    • Check and verify if Cortana is activated?
    • Does Cortana search and gives any output/result on screen?
    • Is the Language and region settings set to valid value?
    • Check and verify if Cortana available in your region?
    Method 1:

    I suggest you to try to turn Cortana off and then try turning it on back and check if she talks. Refer to the steps below to turn Off and On Cortana:

    • Open Cortana.
    • Click the hamburger button in the top left of the window.
    • Go to Settings and click on off.
    • Follow the same steps to turn it on.
    • Check if issue persists.
    I would suggest you to refer to the article given below and check if that helps.
