Troubleshooting activation issues

Since the release of Windows XP back in 2001, we have needed to activate our Windows installation. Windows Product Activation is used to protect users against illegal copies of a Windows 10 installation. The combination of your hardware and your Windows 10 license is crucial. If you change your hardware frequently, you'll need to activate your installation again.

Since Windows 10, there has been an enormous difference regarding product distribution. For existing Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 users, Windows 10 is free for the first year. However, you still need to activate the product after that time. Windows 10 does not have a grace period, which was possible with Windows 7. Instead, you must activate Windows 10 after the installation is finished. If you do not activate it, then it is not possible to make any customizations.
