level 2 support
About this tag
Level 2 support refers to the second tier of technical assistance, typically involving more experienced technicians who handle complex issues that cannot be resolved by level 1 support. On WindowsForum.com, discussions about level 2 support often involve Microsoft product activation problems, such as Windows Pro license activation failures after hardware changes or repairs. Users may be escalated to level 2 support when level 1 agents cannot resolve issues like duplicate product keys or activation errors. The tag covers scenarios where advanced troubleshooting, remote desktop sessions, and deeper system analysis are required to resolve Windows licensing and activation challenges.
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)...
