+= Windows Ten Activation Issues =
+
+if you get can not activate windows ten on a laptop (lenovo, ibm, dell etc) it is probably because the bios has a built in product key that has somehow mismatched with windows ten
+
+it will probably say go buy a new copy from the store with an error code like 0xc00400c4 ? (that will vary)
+
+run a command prompt in windows ten and paste the following command into it
+
+'''wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey'''
+
+and press entry
+
+it will return key info that you will need
+
+from there goto settings, activation and at the bottom click the change activation key
+
+enter the key and go next
+
+if there is still an error
+
+call microsft at 905 568 0434
+
+press 2 for business and then goto activation
+
+activation will think you have an old style activation windows open
+
+just keep pressing 0 then # 0 then # until they transfer you to a person.
+
+from there ????
