Hi guys,
Very recently (a few days before the original posy), I've noticed that activation watermark where it tells me to activate my Windows in the settings. I've discovered it was because of a MB, cpu and ram change I had made like hours before the problem. This said, after searching some forums, the only solutions I've seen were either buy a new liscence or use the troubleshooter. Problem is, when going into "Update & Security" then "Activation", I don't have an "Add account" button. I then tried the troubleshooter and clicking on "I recently changed hardware on this device", it keeps telling me that there's no device linked to my account. So basically, I'm being stuck with the watermark while using my PC.
I first had another MB with a pre-activated Win 7 Home edition. I then used the free Win 10 upgrade on that same MB then changed to my current MB. Someone has an idea what's going on? Could a clean install of Win 10 fix my issue? I seriously don't wanna pay for a product I already gained the rights to use.
Thanks
