Thanks All for your input, sorry for my delayed reply! But I ended up getting it with a fresh install from a USB, it activated automatically. Then I tested the refresh feature after and seemed to go smoothly. Not sure why it was giving me so much trouble, but working now. Thanks everyone!
I bout a used laptop and am doing a refresh on it to wipe the files, seemed as though the refresh went smoothly. I gets to the point I'm doing the first set up stuff, cortona comes on and asking you to set up the time and your user name. It keeps freezing when trying to finish the set up...
