Hey there, I am having the problem after upgrading to Windows 10, but my system is quite old and I have no longer the activation key to my previous Windows 7. What should I do, I upgraded first and then did a clean installation after the upgrade windows were activated but after clean install nothing works. Suggest me what to do?
Hi Jones, in this case the Microsoft Support will help you as without the product key u are only left to take their help and if you had it, you could have done it all by yourself again.
