Activation of the operating system is an important question, since without this process, the functionality of the platform is possible only a limited time. Often this period is only 30 days. It is worth saying that often problems associated with the activation of the operating system arise from those who put the so-called "pirated" versions of the OS, in other cases the activation occurs extremely quickly and without the slightest difficulties.
Transition from other Windows versions
Recently, you can activate the Windows 10 operating system using keys to other OS versions. We are talking about Windows 7, Windows 8, as well as Windows 8.1. Microsoft experts recommend users who are just starting to use their platform, immediately go to Windows 10, since it is in this version that all flaws and other features that were discovered in past systems are taken into account.
Activation of Windows 10 with a digital key
- First of all, go to the "Parameters" section in the Start menu, after which you select the "Update and Security" section. Next, move to the "Activation" item.
- Next will be presented information about the state of the operating system. If Windows is not activated, you will need to enter a 25-digit digital key.
- To activate the key, complete access to the Internet is needed, since otherwise the system will refuse to carry out similar manipulations. In the event that there is no access to the Internet, the notification will be shown to connect to the Internet to activate Windows.
- In some cases, with manual activation of the system, technical problems can occur with the performance of Microsoft servers. With this scenario, it is enough to wait a bit until the situation stabilizes.
- If the above section displays the message about the lack of activation, you can go to the Windows Store to find out the license information on the current device. If a pirated version of Windows is installed, thus it is also possible to activate the system.
Other Windows 10 activation options
It is worth paying attention to the fact that to use Windows 10 it is not necessary to acquire this version in the store. If at the moment your PC works on the licensed version of Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, you can go to the 10th version absolutely free. The license is successfully transferred to the updated platform, however, it is necessary to be sure that Windows 10 system requirements are suitable for your PC.
If some problems arose during the transition to a new version of the OS, it is necessary to go to the "Activation" section, which we have said earlier and use the key that went complete with a personal computer.
It is important to note that the free transition to the new version of the OS from one personal computer is limited. When released, Microsoft experts indicated that the transition to Windows 10 would be possible only for 12 months, and after that everyone will be able to only purchase a platform for full use.
If, when updating the system to Windows 10, there were problems that do not suit the user, you can extremely just roll back to the previous OS. To do this, it is enough to go to the "System Update" section and select the desired item to return to the last version of the system.
