Windows 10 Problem Activating Pro
Background... a few days ago I shutdown and disconnected my Desktop PC (running valid upgrade to Pro) and cleaned the inside (compressed air). Upon reconnecting it to all of the cords it decided to go into a BSOD loop. Long story short I did a repair and then did a hardware test (all was OK)...- NedF
