Carrying over from the old thread, with regard to:Clockwork Sputnik posted:Augh. FINALLY got out of BIOS boot loop, using a properly formatted USB drive. Took a couple more hours sourcing all the drivers from the ASUS site to get most things up and running (wifi, audio drivers, etc). Started Ninite-ing everything in on this fresh clean install annnnnnnd... and the suggestion: Shumagorath posted:If you call in you can most likely get a fix. I had Microsoft send me an entirely new Vista license when we lost the Dell disc for my brother's laptop and his OS was completely beyond live repair. I called Microsoft and read the Absurdly Long String of Numbers at the robot, I was promptly connected with a nice lady and the following exchange occurred: What product are you calling about? -Windows 10 How can I help you? -My copy of windows 10 asks me to activate despite having a valid copy of 8.1 OK. You need to wait 24 - 48 hours and the Activate Windows prompt in the corner of your screen will go away. Then you will be activated. -So there is nothing wrong with my installation of Windows 10? No Sir. -Uhhhhhh okayyyyyyy Thank you. I rather suspect I'll be calling them back in 48 hours with the same problem. Or, is the 9 groups of numbers I read to the machine a kind of serial number for my case, and it popped up on her CRM and said "processing this dudes activation, tell him to chill."? And if they know that, why couldn't they just push activation from that point? Ooooor more likely this is the tier 1 flip card, the equivalent of "ok, I'd like you to reboot your machine, please?"
