A word to the wise, if you plan on doing any re-installs or hardware change outs (like so many of us on this forum often do) I recommend either purchasing a retail boxed copy or digital download from Amazon and NOT Microsoft. My solution was to purchase a digital copy directly from Amazon instead, I was provided a key instantly and used it without a hitch. I bitched and argued with them for over an hour and demanded a refund if they couldn't provide me with a key so I don't run into this again the future, and they wouldn't budge. I was not pleased to say the least, and even though it was on the same hardware, it still would not work. Inside the Command Prompt panel, paste the. To re-register on the Windows Store, first of all, open CMD as an administrator. Try to re-register your Windows Store account as this could possibly solve the issues, and hence prevent it from crashing. well the issue remained, even though I skipped the key this time, I simply could not get this activated without Microsoft intervening. ThatвЂ™s all you have to do to clear the Windows 10 store cache. I made the mistake of updating my BIOS and it trashed my RAID install, so I had to start from scratch again.

REGISTER WINDOWS 10 STORE LICENSE KEY

is the Produkey method even valid with this? I've read in other places that if you do a clean install just skip the license key entry and validate your install through the store once the system is up and running. This may be old news for some, but posting my experience and what I uncovered anyhow. At first they told me I would have to buy another copy of Windows 10 and I was furious and demanded a supervisor, at which point they realized I had bought a legitimate copy and proceeded with getting it activated. I have what I believe is called a 'digital entitlement' which is basically locked to the hardware it was installed on. Microsoft has changed the way they do the licensing a bit for Windows 10. I ended up calling Microsoft support, got transferred 4 times, and finally got to a nice young lady that remoted into my machine and fixed the issue for me and got the system activated. The key I extracted from the previous install was blocked due to the hardware changes. I recently built a new system (specs in sig), and to make a long story short I went through LITERAL HELL with Microsoft to get this re-activated. I found it strange that they did not send me a key, so no problem I'll just use Produkey to extract it and store it somewhere safe if I ever have to do a re-install.

REGISTER WINDOWS 10 STORE PRO

Last November, I purchased Windows 10 Pro (full retail) from the Microsoft Store as a digital download. Posting this here as both a question and FYI for anyone that may run into this in the future.
