I'm having trouble getting Windows to restart.
Right, before i upgraded my pc i linked the windows 10 key with my account so i can re activate it later, after i upgraded everything i go to settings and apparently i cant re activate anymore, after i updated windows i tried again however it says it not linked to my account when i press Troubleshoot -->> hardware change. So will i able to reactivate my windows or is it impossible now
Have you attempted to click Change Product Key and then re-enter your Windows product key? If not, selecting the Help button on the activation page will direct you to a live chat support feature. You should be able to request an agent to contact you there. I've used this method before and it worked after formatting.
They can be more challenging, and at times unrecoverable. When facing issues, it's best to reach out to MS support for guidance. However, OEM keys tend to be very inexpensive, which means I generally consider them temporary use only.
These products include original manufacturer keys, valid exclusively for that device and not transferable. The "account link" is only functional with authorized retail licenses.
