| 1434331 | 2017-04-18 07:44:00 | Sounds as if you may have a false activation by an enterprising gent called "Mr Daz". These activation's have to be renewed periodically as they expire. I would probably install Windows 7, you can probably pick up copy on TradeMe. Alternatively you could re install Vista, for which you should have a key. | mzee (3324) | ||

| 1434333 | 2017-04-18 08:52:00 | Might be lucky to pick up Windows 7 at a cheap price on TM Also Microsoft may close the Windows 10 assistive technology upgrade with the Creator Update |

| 1434335 | 2017-04-18 22:04:00 | For the original poster... PM me and I will give you a legit license key for Windows 7... you can use that to activate windows 10, re-install Windows 10 or at the very least contact MS and use it to get them to sort it out for you. Cheers, |

| 1434336 | 2017-04-18 22:20:00 | Shameless hijack, but will a win 7 installation, e.g on an ex-lease comp, still do an in place upgrade to win 10? Seems to be implied in above posts. Or does it have to have "assistive technology"?? |

Or does it have to have "assistive technology"?? Apparently, MS doesn't do much if anything to confirm the "requester's" actual need/use of assistive technology. I haven't tried this myself so not sure it will still work. Might try it on a VM when I get the chance. See here (www.cnet.com) Very good of you, Chief. Well done. Just doing my bit to help the community....that's what PressF1 is all about. |

Or does it have to have "assistive technology"?? The free upgrade option is finished, however for now it seems you can still do a clean install and use the old key and get the upgrade that way. A spare hard drive would seem the easiest way to give it a go if you have one, save having to reinstall the original OS if it fails. Not sure how assistive technology fits into the equation though. |
