Dadtom65 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hi Guys as above. I don’t have actual disks which I might have to buy anyway. The reason is I’m having trouble activating them, mean I had a key for Windows Pro but it would not activate. I’m going out of my mind. Thanks Derek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Google free Windows 10. That's how I got mine. The upgrade might not work if you already have W10 installed but can't hurt to try. Probably better forums than a flight sim forum for this sort of query. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hello Derek, give Microsoft a ring. I am guessing that you have change all your hardware. On this webpage you will find all the information that you need. You should not need a key, where did you get it from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 Thanks guys. Hi Nick probably ages ago but now on Windows 10 Pro or I was. I have the key for that but still no go. Thanks Derek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hello Derek, have a read of the linked topic, you don't need a key, as the PC is linked to your Microsoft account. You just need to make the account recognise your new hardware, if that is what you are doing? Have a visit here and see what is registered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Hi Guys. An update to what’s been happening. My Windows was a no go unfortunately could not get it to install. Mean I’ve been using Windows ever since it came out. Any way and thank you John Dow and my son did exactly as you said and I’ve a fully functioning Windows Pro 10 now on my system for peanuts. Let’s hope it lasts. Unfortunately one of my 4 hard drives packed up. I managed to get Windows on my 110gb drive but my 250gb drive seems to have packed up. Plus my 1tb and 2tb drive I cannot fit as I have no means of fitting them at the moment. So hopefully in time I will be up and running but not looking forward to reinstalling MFSF. Thanks Derek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Another update. My 250gb Ssd is now working as I forgot to initialise it. My son called in and he spotted it straight away. I put it down to my age again. You can put loads of stuff down to your age. . Now to get some games on. Thanks Derek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
