I can't activate my Windows 10

Hey, not sure how relevant this as I am not a licensing guru but thought I should mention

The install disk in your screenshot drive F: is for 8 PRO N version for EU. The screenshot from post #17 for showkey does not mention the license being an N version (for EU)

Yep, that's correct... He needs the standard 8.1 (core) iso.

Bingo, if its the "N" version that's why it won't work. Nice catch.

Where can I download this MSDN ISO from?? I really need to sort my laptop as running unactivated version of windows causing all sorts of problems.

Thanks

You can't download from MSDN without a subscription. If you go here, http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...-refresh-media and download the Windows 8.1 (not Pro) version, it should work.

@Devilz

And by using the link quoted above, that **should** mean the screenshot below is the version you need to create a disk that accepts your key and activates.

(alphanumeric / Superfly / NavyLCDR please step in and correct if I am wrong cos like I said my knowledge of licenses is limited. Sometimes I take a couple of goes to get it right).

I was wondering what had happened with your install. Great news. Enjoy.
