| 1423258 | 2016-07-20 23:29:00 | Hello evryone and thank you for your help, Well i tried to contact HP but the fricking page sucks, it has a process where you identify the product and then they allow you to contact them through mail for example but i can't seem to get it work, could it work if i tried contacting microsoft? |

As mentioned previously sometimes it wont activate if its the Manufactures COA, so you need to call MS during that installing/activation options and then the keys active, but its a different set of digits Microsoft will ask for, 48 in total, all numerical so the actual product key wont be much use. | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 1423262 | 2016-07-23 05:38:00 | If you don't want to upgrade right now I would grab an old HDD and chuck it in the machine and do a fresh install of Windows 10 and activate it using your Windows 7 / 8 key from the COA sticker on the case. I did that very thing on my Toshiba Satellite laptop, which has W7 Pro on it, a clean install of W10 Pro. But it would not activate, and gave me various error codes (on various attempts) 0x803F7001, 0x80041023 etc. I'm still researching the problem! |

| 1423264 | 2016-07-25 03:37:00 | I did a lot of pre reading -this forum comments included. Finally I created an ISO File and ran Setup from that. I selected the Keep System and Personal Settings option just to avoid having to download MS Office 365 again .I selected a few Custom Options -chiefly Privacy - on the way through. So far so good. I now am going through the familiarisation and personal customisation process which I would be doing with any later system. I'm a bit confused about Edge seemingly opening Internet Explorer but will continue with articles/Help etc. to gain fuller understanding of my present "puzzles". Overall I'm pleased |
