she got it through dreamspark at her school, and when she logged in today they said it's invalid so now even though they are giving away win10 for free to literally everyone she has been on the phone with tech support for an hour while they tell her it was never a valid key and they don't know what a dreamspark is A Pinball Wizard fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Oct 20, 2015 |

So what you can do is install from retail disk, somehow obtain the lenovo key, and it will work

A Pinball Wizard posted:unrelated lol definitely do this if you love having 10 second response times you can't get reliably fast service even for tiny apps on azure without paying $55+/mo. that's why I don't use it for my personal projects. also love that they claim to give students $200 in credit (that expires in 30 days. what student is just casually spinning up that kind of resources on their own?)

i like how you can't paste your key into the text field in win10 because it's behind a UAC prompt
