  1. Windows 10 Pro Activation After Returning Defective Device?


    Okay, so I bought a Surface Book 3 and then upgraded to W10 Pro from the App Store on the device. However, there was an issue with the SB3 and I had to exchange it. Then there was a hardware issue with it the left hinge wouldn't detach and I just returned it and now have a Razer Blade 15 Advanced Model.


    Is there any way that I can activate my copy of W10 Pro that I had originally bought through the App Store on the original SB3 on my current Razer Blade 15? I called into the service center and spoke with someone who claimed that there was nothing I could do, neither return the original $99.00 code which was linked to the SB3's motherboard and thus non-refundable according to them or have the license transferred to my Razer Blade which they said would be impossible since the license is linked to the original SB3 which is currently sitting in Washington state somewhere being torn apart to see what was wrong with it.

    I'm at a loss for words as to how displeased I am that, because I got a defective unit, I'm suddenly out $99 plus tax with no recourse other than being told to just buy another copy of W10 Pro.


    Anything I can do other than do that?


    I can provide order numbers, serial numbers, and service ticket numbers if necessary.

    :)

    DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 NOW - Upgrade and ISO direct from microsoft

    Click to expand... Yeah I went to that site, why do I need to buy a key?
    I won't buy a key, stupid.

    I'll revert back to windows 7 then.

    When I still was on windows 7, about a year ago I added 4GB extra ram which is a total of 8GB now,
    is that causing the problem?

  3. Windows 10 Activation Error: 0xC004F034

    Hi Greg,

    This error code is usually caused by a problem with the product key. For better assistance, we would like to clarify how you got the Windows 10 Pro? Is it supplied by a company?

    As an initial troubleshooting step, we suggest that you run the Activation troubleshooter and try activating Windows 10 Pro again. To run the Activation troubleshooter, follow these steps:

    • Click the Start button and select the Settings
      icon.
    • Choose Update & Security from the list.
    • Select Activation in the left pane of the window.
    • Click Troubleshoot.

    If your Windows 10 Pro is supplied by a company, we recommend that you get in touch with your organization's support for assistance with the activation.

    We'll be waiting to your reply.

      , then select Settings > Update & security > Activation.
    • Select Go to Store, and check to see if a valid license is available for your device. If a license isn't available, you'll need to buy Windows from the Store.

      • This only applies if you haven't made changes to the hardware for your device.

    or you could hack it with a crack but please note this is always risky and you don't know what's in the hack
