Mr Grumpy 768 Report post Posted September 12, 2019 I am assuming that this is not a legitimate version of Windows and obviously needs activating. Have you used one of the activation patches that are available on this site. I don't know how to use them as I run a Mac but if the Windows is legitimate them you can get an activation code from MS providing it is only being used on 1 device. I'm sure others will be able to give you the proper advice 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Phelps 474 Report post Posted September 12, 2019 According to the screenshot, you are running Win10 v1809 --which is now nearly a year old. The current version of Win10 is 1903 and version 1909 will be out within a month at most. You would do better looking for a 1903 version and installing that. The activation bypass routines don't care which version of Win10 you are running, they work the same, regardless. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I said, the activators don't care about the specific Win10 versions, so do yourself a favor, get the latest version (1930) and activate it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Originally, I had windows 8 until they offered the free upgrade to Windows 10. I'm not sure what 1903 or 1809 is exactly but how do I get 1903? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tech already gave you a link to one that works. And, I tried the link supplied -- and it works fine for me. Myself, I use either the KMS Activator Ultimate or the KMS Tools by Ratiborus -- but you generally have to search other Warez site and the one I use primarily to get these is down -- again! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh okay I still don't have permission to view the contents of that url so I don't know where to go from here. I did some searches for both those tools it seems like I can't get a direct download just a bunch of pop up links that don't download anything I was searching for this is a bit frustrating 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
