Hi, I was using Windows 10 Home activated with an OEM license, I no longer have the product key but it was automatically activated everytime I did a new install. I did a fresh new install for Windows 11 Home and it didn't activate automatically so I went back to Windows 10 Home in order to keep...

I had an activated copy of windows 10 on my laptop. I needed to replace the existing HDD with an SSD, and while I did that I installed a version of windows 10 I had downloaded from the internet. I have the previous Product ID and Key. Now I can not transfer the license to this new system no...

I own a retail license for windows 10, the type you can transfer to a different computer. I've recently built a new computer to replace my old computer, so I reinstalled windows 10 on my old computer (thinking that would remove the license, and because I intend to sell it) and activated the...

I've been using a student version of windows 10 on my home pc because it was offered for free by my university. I asked them multiple times if I would still have access to it after graduating, and they all said yes. Lo and behold when I try to log in now I get a message "you can not log in with...

I'm shopping for a cheap rarely-to-be-needed laptop, and I see a lot of used machines offered on eBay with no OS. I'm puzzled by that because as far as I know, all computer manufacturers have agreements with Microsoft that make it impractical, if not impossible, to sell a new computer without...

The laptop I have right now came with Windows 10 pre-installed. Is the necessary license I need when I want to reinstall the OS in the partition? I plan on cloning the partition to a flashdrive and use that in the future. Is that all I need? I want to delete the partition to free up more space...

My son has an old computer. It needs an upgrade. He's a game player and he creates games too. Does some video encoding and after effects work. His preference is to stay with Windows 10 but he's also willing to go to Linux if this proves too tough.... He upgraded from Windows 7 to 8.0 then 8.1...

I build my gaming PC around 5 years ago. I put a lot of money into the original build but I was still in high school so I still went kinda budget. The PC back then was amazing, 300 frames on any games I could think of (BF3 and 4 I think). Pretty intense games. Currently, my PC can barely run...

Hey Guys, I took some time to clean out my PC yesterday since it had been around 6-8 months since I cleared out the dust. I cleaned out the dust, but I also reseated the CPU and applied new thermal paste, since I noticed the temperatures were higher than normal recently. I booted up the PC, and...
