Activate Windows After HW Changes

Aug 31, 2015

I recently upgraded my CPU, Motherboard, Ram, and HDD to SSD. I upgraded my genuine copy of windows 8.1 to windows 10 about 3 weeks prior. I didn't want to install windows 8 all over again only to then have to update to windows 10 right after. So I just cloned my HDD onto my SSD. It worked fine for a day, but now its telling me I need to activate windows.

What do I do, is there any way to activate without having to reinstall windows 8 then upgrade to windows 10? I know my windows 8 product key will not work.

How To Get New HDD To Activate Windows Without Wiping It

Feb 4, 2016

So i have 2 hard drives. one is an old one with windows 7 still on it, and the other was new with nothing on it. I took out the old one with windows 7 on it but didn't wipe it, and put in the new one. I installed windows 10 on the new one via bootable usb. Now windows says it can't activate. I've already downloaded 100gb of games and i REALLY don't want to do that again.

How can i get the new hdd to activate windows without wiping it? will the product key be the same for both versions? Can I update the old drive then swap it out with the new one and it be activated?

Activate Windows After System Upgrades?

Aug 14, 2015

how to reactivate my copy of Windows 10 if I make hardware upgrades that would make me need to format my hard drive (Motherboard, CPU, etc.). In other words say if I need a new motherboard down the road and once it is installed and I cannot boot into windows, how would I get my copy of windows 10 back after I format all the old drivers and such off and reinstall windows? Would I have to then buy a whole new copy? The only thing I could think of would install my version of windows 7, activate it, then upgrade back up to 10.

Re-activate Windows After A Hardware Change

Feb 26, 2016

I need to re-activate Windows after a hardware change and was wondering if I could purchase an OEM license and use the key it gives me to activate it? I'm aware that using an OEM key means there will be troubles upgrading in the future, however I don't plan on changes for quite some time. Bottom line: Could I buy an OEM Windows 10 and go into the store, activate it and have it work?

Updates :: Will Windows Activate Itself If Do Clean Install

Sep 14, 2015

If I understood this : clearly, then does it mean that Windows will activate itself from some Windows activation servers that are somehow written into my hardware even if I do a clean install deleting everything in my Windows partition?

Also, since the built-in "Create a Recovery Drive" will take forever or display an error when ''Backup system files to the recovery drive' is checked", I'm trying to create an Installation media. But I'm stuck with which ISO I should download. Now, there's Windows 10, Windows 10 Single Language, Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Home N. I'm running Windows 10 Home at the moment. Which was upgraded from Windows 8.1(I think there was ''Single Language'' written after "8.1", not sure though). Which Version should I download. And if I install the wrong version by chance, will Windows still activate after I find out and install the right version? Please clarify these.... I'm really looking forward to do a clean-install to get rid of all the errors and bugs with drivers and just start over.

*DETAILS: Windows 10 Home Build 10240 [Upgraded via free upgrade, had an OEM version of Windows 8.1 when first bought]

Updates :: Windows Won't Activate After Most Recent Update

Dec 23, 2015

i got a brand new computer recently that came with windows 10. i had to reinstall it a few times because of issues i thought were related to the installation (plus the first attempt asked me for a key which i didn't have, the second one didn't). i didn't activate right away. i got two BSOD in 24 hours and thought it was my computer but found out online that it's windows 10's fault so i went to update windows. the update i got took so long it almost looked like a whole new installation though it said updating. when i came home i went to activate and got this message windows is not activated as your previous version of windows on this device was not activated prior to upgrade to windows 10 error code 0x803f7001.

i am nearly 100% positive that error wasn't there before the update. how the hell can i have a previous installation when this is an windows 10 oem computer?

Why No Longer Revert Back To Previous Windows From Tech Preview

Jun 15, 2015

I installed the technical preview on my Surface Pro (gen 1), It's great and all. Gets smoother with each update, however, I'd like to revert back to 8.1 pro so I can reserve my copy of Windows 10.

I don't exactly know if the tech preview will auto-update to the full OS when Win10 releases July29 and I've tried to search for an answer to that question and the answers I find refer to Microsoft releasing "ISOs" when the full OS comes out and I don't know how to do those things so that's why I want to revert back and reserve.

This is my first time trying out OS preview builds. I made a USB recovery drive before I installed it though. I tried using it to refresh my SurfacePro back to windows 8.1 using my USB recovery drive, but the only option I get when it comes to choosing a target operating system to refresh is just windows 10.

Updates :: Can Use Windows 7 Starter Key To Activate (home 64bit)

Jan 1, 2016

Microsoft said that with 1511 build we can now enter a Windows 7/8/8.1 licence key to activate windows 10 until july... but not so much more information whatsoever.

I have a Windows 7 starter spare product key. I guess it's 32-bit (since I never heard of 64-bit version).

I would like to know if with that key I could activate a clean copy of windows 10 home 64-bit ?

Any Way To Download Or Activate Standard (old) Windows Photo Viewer

Oct 25, 2015

In Windows 10, is there a way to download or activate the standard (old) windows photo viewer? The Windows 10 Photos app sucks for more reasons than I can say in one message. But the biggest problem is that it refuses to let me view my photos if I am not connected to the internet. I am in Ethiopia for a few weeks and internet is spotty. I take hundreds of pictures, transfer them to my Surface 3, then try to view them and it gives me an error and won't let me view any of them. Once I have an internet connection I can view them even though they are stored locally.

PREVIEW Option Gone From JPGs?

Aug 4, 2015

One feature I used alot in Win 8.1 was the right-click "Preview" option on photos. I could open them in the viewer without having to launch a full blown editor like Photoshop. So I would use Preview and Open to accomplish two different goals.But now, I noticed there's no more Preview option on the JPG's..

Cannot Install / Preview Any Fonts At All

Jul 31, 2015

Basically, I cannot seem to install any new fonts at all. Any font I try to install or preview, I will get a message saying "Not a valid font". Now here's the strange part, if I click to view a font from the /windows/fonts/ folder, it lets me view it of course but if I copy that font outside that location, like to my desktop, I will again get the same error, "Not a valid font". I tried logging on the built-in Administrator account as well to see if maybe I could do it from there, but no, same error.

Explorer - Folder Preview Resize

Aug 15, 2015

I downloaded Windows 10 on release and despite its flaws, I actually like it.

I am finding an issue with Explorer though. I've noticed that the preview image icon for folders doesn't resize itself to fit within the folder preview section, so if the image I want to show as a preview on that folder icon is tiny, it'll show as being tiny in the preview with loads of blank space around it, for larger images it does seem to fit in, though if the image is longer than it is wide than it'll cut the bottom bit off. This wasn't the case in previous versions of Windows and I presume it can be tweaked in the registry.

I'm using a 4K monitor and Microsoft have improved the scaling in this OS, but it's still not exactly brilliant. Third party software is the main culprit tbf.
