1. Press and hold the Windows button and the R button to open the Run window.

Note: Another way to open Windows is from the Windows 10 system's start menu.

2. In the Run window, write the following command: SLUI 4.

3. Press the Enter button on the keyboard.

7. After you dial the number, you will be prompted to write your installation ID.

Note: Type the installation ID into your phone.

8. After you type in the installation ID, you will be asked how many copies of Windows are installed with this license and must choose 1. If you choose any other option, it will not work.

Note: The option 1 you chose means you only used it once.

9. After performing the above steps, you should get a confirmation ID and then you are ready to go with a workable product key.

A customer sent us this info because apparently through the text message link does not work but audio activation does.

I activated the product via phone, but throughthe AUDIO activation, and not through the SMS link I received, which redirected me to an online form activation.

Solution: You are probably using an upgrade key. Look at the very bottom of your order email for the correct key and use it. You can fix this yourself, so no need to contact us.

Solution: This error usually means that something is wrong with the key itself.

Action: Please contact our customer service via the contact page. Send us the error message, your key and a screenshot. We will look into this further for you.

Error code 0xC004F050 often occurs during Windows activation.
This usually happens when the Windows version installed does not match the version of the purchased OEM key.
It is crucial to make sure you have the correct version. For example, if you purchased a Windows 11 Pro OEM key, you must also have a fresh installation of Windows 11 Pro on your system. Only then will the activation be successful.

We do not sell Windows N versions, if you get an error message with 0xC004F050 check that your windows version is not an N version, the N is usually after the Windows title such as Windows 11 Professional N

Usually, most of the problems of activation or installation occur when an old or different office version is still present on the system. Sometimes people forget with a new or recently purchased laptop, that a trial version of office was installed with the Windows installation. This obviously causes conflicts.

Usually, most problems of activation or installation occur when there is still an old or different office or office 365 version present on the system. Sometimes people forget with a new or recently purchased laptop, that there is a trial version of office installed with the Windows installation. This obviously causes conflicts.

If you do forget to check first and then enter the license vialink, it may say that license is already in use, this is because the license is already ready in your Microsoft account. Click on Microsoft my account link below and then click on Services and subscriptions at the top menu. There you will find the purchased software and the Install link. Click on that and download/install the software.

Examples of errors :

• For example, you get error code 30182-1 (2).
  • Office wants to install only 32-bit and gives you a message
  • Your office requests an email address for activation.
  • You do not get Office activated or the key appears incorrect.

All of these errors can be resolved by uninstalling old or other Office versions.

Want to check that you are working with the correct Office version , go to File - Account and in the right column you will see your version of Office and its activation.

It is very important to check whether an Office installation is already present before activation. This can take different forms: a trial version of Office for example on a new PC/laptop, Office 365 or an older version such as Office 2016. To get started, first check and uninstall Office if necessary. Search the Windows search bar for "Office" and uninstall the app once you find it.

If you accidentally did not uninstall Office before trying to activate the "Office Key" and got an error message during installation, follow these steps for a solution:

• Uninstall the Office package as described earlier
• Go to your Microsoft account
• Go to 'Services and subscriptions' in the top menu
• Here you should see your purchased version of Office, with an option to install the software.

This way, you can successfully activate and use the Office software without any problems.

Hello there!!! Have you ever wondered what OEM means when it comes to Windows? No worries, I'm here to help you out. Let's dive into the world of OEM for Windows together!

What does OEM mean?

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. In the context of Windows, this refers to a version of the operating system specifically designed for pre-installed devices. Manufacturers such as Dell, HP and Lenovo use OEM software to pre-install Windows on their machines.

OEM version vs. Retail version

You may have noticed that there are different versions of Windows available. Let's list the main differences.

As you can see, each version has its own advantages and disadvantages. The choice depends on your specific needs and situation.

Benefits of OEM

1. Cost-saving: OEM licenses are often cheaper than retail versions.
2. Convenience: It comes preinstalled on new devices, so you don't have to install Windows yourself.
3. Suitable for new devices: Ideal for manufacturers and small business owners selling computers in bulk.

Disadvantages of OEM

1. Limited transferability: You cannot transfer the license to another PC.
2. Less support: Support is usually limited to what the manufacturer offers.
3. Limited upgrades: You may experience limitations with major system upgrades.

Conclusion

OEM for Windows is a convenient and cost-effective way to have an operating system on pre-installed devices. Although it has some limitations, at the same time it offers advantages such as lower cost and easy installation.

Hopefully you now have a clear understanding of what OEM means for Windows and how it differs from other versions. Still have questions? Let me know, I'm happy to help!

If you're wondering exactly what the differences are between Windows 10 and 11, and between the Home and Pro versions, you've come to the right place. After all, that can make a big difference in your choice of which version to use.

Windows 10 versus Windows 11

Windows 10

• Appearance: Familiar and familiar appearance.
• Functionality: Very stable and widely accepted.
• Compatibility: Works on most old and new hardware.
• Updates: Regular security and functionality updates.

Windows 11

• Appearance: Sleek and modern design, new start menu and taskbar.
• Functionality: Improved performance and new features such as Snap Layouts.
• Compatibility: Works only on newer hardware (check requirements!).
• Updates: revamped approach to updates for a smoother experience.

Major Changes

• Start menu: Placed in the middle on Windows 11 versus on the left on Windows 10.
• Widgets: New widgets in Windows 11 for quick access to information.
• Gaming: Direct Storage and AutoHDR for better gaming experience in Windows 11.

Differences between Home and Pro Editions

Additional Features Pro version

• BitLocker: Encryption to keep your files safe.
• Remote Desktop: Access your PC from another location.
• Assigned Access: Assign specific apps for specific users.
• Hyper-V: Virtualization software for running multiple operating systems.

My Advice

Windows 11 is ideal if you have a new computer and like to use the latest gadgets, while Windows 10 remains an excellent choice for somewhat older systems or if you're just used to the current look and feel.

For most users, the Home edition is sufficient. Choose Pro if you:

• Need advanced management tools.
• Want to manage work on multiple computers remotely.
• Additional security is important.

So, that's it! Hopefully this will help you make a decision about which version suits you best. Good luck! 🎉
