GOD666 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I rebooted and found my copy of Windows 10 deactivated. I did not think that was possible. After all this is a free test copy. Is Microsoft testing their activation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim K Global Moderator Posted June 5, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted June 5, 2015 Nothing and that there is the problem. I'm sorry ... but you are doing something. I doubt anyone else has similar issues (to scale) that you've had with regards to activation issues. Might be time to try Linux, Chromebook or a Mac. I think this guy Norseman said it best...in your other thread "Will Microsoft rip me off again?" I'm pretty sure he is trolling. No one I know would be formatting their main system and reinstalling everything so often and then complain in a forum such as this. We need to find this poor fellow a job. If that isn't the case then maybe your issues exceed the capabilities of the members here on Neowin and you need professional advice straight from Microsoft.

If that isn't the case then maybe your issues exceed the capabilities of the members here on Neowin and you need professional advice straight from Microsoft. As stated before... I have already switched myself and most of my friends and family to Linux. It's a lot more user friendly than I originally thought it would be. My Grandpa, mother, sister, and even my young nieces all have either Ubuntu or OpenSuSe. Games work wonderful on Linux, as Steam even supports Linux. I can open any Microsoft Office document and even Apple documents, much to my surprise. Hardware support is also on par being there is a wide range of both official and 3rd party drivers. However... I would still like to try to have a working Windows 10 copy once it's out. I think after buying so many copies of Windows... I'm due that. Of course, with Windows 10 Technical Preview also becoming invalid, having never installed it more than once... I find it concerning. Microsoft's official word appears to be of one who wants me to keep buying more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I have. They often tell me they cannot validate my copy or place me on hold, then connect me to their genuine advantage team who offers me a discount on a new copy. However... This thread is about Windows 10 Technical Preview, which is not yet on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAZMINATOR Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 ...and you never thought about calling Microsoft about your "invalid" Windows before repurchasing another copy. ok then. Right. LOL Stick with Mac or Linux, OP! You do NOT make sense! And please stop trolling around... Like I said I had no problem with calling to Activation center to get a key without purchasing. If you can't get it at all, then I suggest that you go back to Mac or Linux. That way you wouldn't worry about activation issues or Windows problems.

There is nothing wrong with dual-booting or having more than one computer... And there is nothing wrong owning more than one copy of Windows (because you need 1 copy for each install) But again, this thread is about Windows 10 Technical Preview. Lets keep the thread apart.

+Raze Subscriber² Posted June 5, 2015 Subscriber² Share Posted June 5, 2015 You've been given some excellent advice. Time to either change your testing methods or if none of the suggestions offered are doable for you then find another hobby. At this point it cannot be denied, you are doing something wrong.
