Activating Windows 10 on a reset device
Activating Windows 10 on a reset device
Hello everyone. I’m here because I recently faced a problem with my new PC and decided to perform a reset. I opened the Windows 10 settings app, navigated to Recovery, and selected the "Reset this PC" option. After that, my computer functioned normally again. However, I encountered an odd issue. In the settings app, it displays "Windows isn't activated. Activate Windows now." It includes a link to the activation section. When I go to Accounts, sign in with my Microsoft account, and click "Manage my Microsoft account," I see that it lists a version of Windows 10 tied to my account. The About section in System Settings confirms it as Windows 10 Home with a version number and build info. I attempt to reach the activation settings, but only see a loading indicator that never completes, preventing access. If anyone has dealt with this before or knows how to resolve it, please let me know. For reference, I purchased Windows 10 about two months ago and still have my original key available if needed.
You might attempt to override your CD key using CMD as an administrator.
