Cannot activate Windows 10 on a Asus Laptop
The adventure I am having installing Windows 10 onto different computers has been interesting. Each computer had Windows 7 Pro 64 bit at OEM installed before Windows 10 come onto the market.
I encountered no difficulty whatsoever installing Windows 10 in a Lenovo T430 Laptop. It went fast, smooth, no hitches. Activated easily and after a month’s use everything operates properly.
It was another matter installing Windows 10 in a ZT855 highly modified desktop. I spent weeks trying every conceivable way to install and make Windows 10 operate. Finally got it installed and activated. Since then, the desktop has worked flawlessly.
The last computer in which I have tried to install Windows 10 and make it operate is an Asus K6O1J Laptop. The installation went smoothly and did not take too long to complete. I then installed 3rd party apps. They all run correctly. However, when I attempt to activate Windows 10, a message says that the product key is incorrect.
I did a key search and the string is that same as I used to activate the laptop.
Because the message instructed that I contact the mfg, I checked with Asus. They told me that I do have the correct Product Key and said the problem must be with Windows 10.
I am stumped. What do I do next?
