    Hello,

    I am really super stressed because I have recently bought a laptop and windows is not activated and it says it can’t find a product key.

    Just wanted to know if windows 10 activation is a must? My network and speed are working perfectly and I have also run a test check of the invigilation software through ACCA website. Everything was fine.

    Really tensed. Need help.

    Thank you.

    You should resolve your problems with microsoft using their support. For some reason ACCA insists that computer software should be licenced.

    Thank you so much for replying. I’m very grateful to you as you’ve saved me from the trouble on the exam day.

    But I’m a bit disappointed too not because of your comment but because this laptop was new but Windows was not preinstalled and I believe the company tricked me by making me think they will install original Windows.

    So after I got home and found Windows was not activated, I had to call them up. They told me that they’ve provided me with a file and that I needed to open that up to activate Windows but by disabling all shields. I got suspicious and I ran a scan and found that the file was hacktool.exe something like that.

    Now I guess I have to format the entire thing but I’m worried if even the hardware is a counterfeit. So maybe even I purchase new Windows, they might conflict. I might be wrong too.

    Now i have got no clue what I’m supposed to do.

    Try their online support. I had similar problems in the past and solved them online.
    It is usseful package anyway and you have paid for it.

    Hello,

    I’ve been unsuccessful in downloading an activation key.

    I would really love to know if the exams could be conducted without me having the activation key even though I have windows 10?

    It’s been days and I’m unable to get to my exams and I’m so upset.

    Thank you so much.
