| 1452976 | 2018-08-24 04:05:00 | In the past, standard install ISO's/Cd wouldnt work on VL keys . Not sure if the same with 10. So a re-install might to be a problem, as would updates via DVD: eg update to 1803 from DVD . I think using a live login is also blocked, but that could be a good thing :) Just an update to these -- I loaded up a education version. The first window when you get to the account creation asks to join a work or school account, or the other option (bottom Left) is join a Domain. If you try a standard Live /Outlook account it spits the dummy, then offers a Local account. It will allow you to log into Outlook.com Via a browser (email) should you want. |

So out of box & initialise Win was no different to any other , Win is up & running (local user a/c) . However, 1803 of course wont install via updates, downloads OK (in Win updates) & starts 1803 install (from updates), fails & repeats and fails & repeats :badpc: Now the fun really starts. Usually I'd just use a 1803 DVD to update it from the old build ver. But being a Edu Lic , god knows what disk I need for it. MS have a separate page for the separate Edu 10 downloads , but they noted a install key will be needed . So fingers crossed . |

Thanks PJ Is the 2016 (standalone 1 time purchase) or Office 365 (subscription based) If you're not to sure, how much did they charge you for it ? (the price will tell if its Subscription or One Off) If you had a Subscription, then changed over to stand alone the old subscription based should have been uninstalled first. |

I paid this to Noel Leemings & got the box with the new code. I processd it as per instructions( remember this is PJ you are dealing with!!!!). Clearly I am living up to my reputation & got it wrong again. PJ |

PJ Dont put yourself down at any stage -- A LOT smarter people have gotten con-fuddled ;) OK 1st thing sign into your MS account -- www.office.com/myaccount you used when entering it, Once there look for the Show all Subscription Options. (Mines due in a few days) 9018 Next you'll see the status: 9019 Yours, Should show its Active and OK, as well as the expiry date. NOW HERE'S THE GOTYA !!! That most people fail to do, and a HIGH percentage of the problems after renewing . :eek: Open, Lets say word -- Top Right -- SIGN IN with the exact same account name and password you were looking at on office.com/my account, Give it a few minutes and it will reactivate and you'll be away laughing. 9020 When you sign back into Office ( word) make sure you click on the Apps only ( unless you use a MS account to sign into the PC now) 9021 |
