    activation error question


    I have successfully upgraded my win 7 ult desktop to win 10 pro and all has been fine the last 2 days. Today I noticed that when I go to "settings/accounts/sync" and disable sync settings the desktop immediately has a activation error and says that windows needs to be activated. Now if I turn back on the sync settings the activation error disappears and desktop is now activated again.
    Is this normal? Is their a way I can keep the activation without syncing to Microsoft?

    does it show windows as being activated?

    I solved the problem by reinstalling windows 7 and activating it once again. Then running the windows 10 upgrade. I have not had any more activation problems this last time and it has been about a week.
