It's very similar to the activation issues that many users, like "Bug Xiaobian," faced when upgrading and using Windows 10. Some lingering problems are still under investigation. We're not entirely at ease. After all, our team is small, and we also have regular tasks—like testing in dark houses, where hands meet hands. We either need to study a bit or wait for an official patch. Today, I want to talk about the most common concerns: activation and version upgrades. No one wants to open their computer only to see a watermark in the corner, right? Since Microsoft started promoting version-upgrade optimization instead of releasing new versions every few years, activation has changed significantly. Besides buying genuine licenses directly from the official site, there are several other ways to get a genuine copy of Windows 10, including upgrading from the Home edition to Professional or Enterprise. Upgrading from Windows 7 or 8 If you recently bought a laptop, it probably came with Windows 10 Home Edition pre-installed. However, older laptops from a few years ago—or even more than a decade ago—might have come with Windows 7 or 8, sometimes even with Professional or Enterprise editions. Vendors usually place the product key on the back of the laptop or the desktop case. If you have the product key from your previous system, you can activate the corresponding version by typing it directly into Windows 10 (right-click on "This PC" and select "Properties"). You can also upgrade from Home to Professional Edition. You can also use the Microsoft Easy Upgrade Tool (available at the official download page) to upgrade from Windows 7 or 8 directly. If your old OS was already activated, the upgraded Windows 10 should activate automatically after the process completes. Windows 10 Special Program If none of the above methods work, there’s another trick. Microsoft offers a special upgrade channel for certain groups through the website. Download the Windows upgrade tool from the designated page. Follow Microsoft’s instructions to register a new account (not the old Microsoft account), fill in some personal details, and activate the upgraded Windows 10. The downside of this method might be the accessibility tools prompt on the login screen, which you'll need to close manually. Also, you may receive occasional survey emails from Microsoft support. Since you're upgrading to Windows 10 for free, a little inconvenience is expected. Another method involves using an existing Microsoft account. After logging in on an already activated Windows 10 device (which records the activation information), you can log in on the target machine. There's a chance it will activate successfully, though the success rate isn't guaranteed. It depends on how strict Microsoft's background checks are and your "luck." By the way, these activation methods can also be used when installing a fresh copy of Windows 10.
