A few days ago my sisters laptop hdd died, so I took in her pc to fix it, ordered an ssd and replaced it, and installed windows 10 (from a burned iso). Having an issue with activation though, it not activating since I don't have a key for it (although I've always been told that as long as it's the same motherboard that wouldn't be an issue, so I'd imagine it should register) is there any way to fix this? I really don't want to have to go out and buy a windows 10 key.
Why opt for burned ISO instead of using the media creation tool? EDIT: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software.../windows10, double-check you select the right version.
That’s the meaning behind “burned ISO,” but I wasn’t able to recall the exact term. I used a Microsoft tool to create a bootable disc.
Windows will now be set up. However, your system won’t have an authentic installation and won’t get activated. You can still proceed in the same manner. Sent from mTalk
You might set up Windows 7 on her PC and then move to Windows 10, provided you have the necessary license. For a budget-friendly option, you can purchase a used key from platforms such as kinguin or reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap, which often offer around $15 to $20.
No distinction exists; as long as it works properly, it meets your needs.
I don’t have any 7 or 8.1 keys. I’d prefer to avoid spending more money.
