The supplier came back with insistance that the license was genuine and legitimate, and provided the following info to support that claim:Įxtended PID: XXXXX-0357-9200.0000-1322017Īctivation ID: xxxxxxxx-a45a-4a2a-a350-c69a67097529ĭescription: Win 10 RTM Professional OEM:DM The key didn't work for activation (error 0xc004e028), and I simply applied for a refund as I'd only purchased out of curiosity. I received the license simply as a product key in the body of an email: I fully expected this to be a fake product like the DVDs available at a similar price from Amazon which I've confirmed to be counterfeit.

This is sold as a "license only" at £26.99.

The flash drive can be run from within Windows or booted from, depending on whether upgrading or clean install.I recently purchased a copy of Windows 10 Professional OEM as a download from. Did all from USB bootable flash drives (32-bit & 64-bit). One HP Win7 laptop would not upgrade, had to do clean install. There are no official downloads from Microsoft.īTW, I've installed Win10 on 10 different computers (5 are mine). Your only option is download Windows 8.1 with Bing from torrent. Wipe the drive & start over with Win10 & the T100 drivers for your model.ģ. However, Win10 will activate even if the eMMC drive (disk drive) were blank.Ģ. If recovering Windows 8.1 is impossible due to the "Bing" factor, then I'll go direct to the 10 solution.ġ. I may just backup the drive image and try Windows 10 again, knowing I can switch back if necessary.ģ. Would you agree? Because no other edition will activate with the embedded key.Ģ.

So, if I want my system back working with Windows 8.1, my only option is to find a "with Bing" ISO.
