Hey all, I'm new here and also new to the desktop scene as I've been using laptops forever!
Today I purchased a PC specialist desktop new, and so far everything has been great. until I got greeted with the activate windows watermark.
I went into settings and it's saying "We can't activate windows on this device because you don't have a valid digital licence or product key. If you think you do have a valid licence or key, select Troubleshoot below. Error code: 0xC004C003"
I have clicked troubleshoot, and it asks me if I have recently changed hardware on this device. If I click this, it shows me my old laptop name, I can only assumed its linked via the microsoft login?
The PC was sold with Windows 10 Home included, and also has a Windows sticker on the case, but I can't find a licence key anywhere.
Any help would be appreciated, just want to make sure I'm not missing something simple before contacting Currys / PC Specialist experts direct!
Many thanks, Grant!
