  1. I went to the website touslesdrivers.com, but an error message appeared when I launched the utility
    I used Malwarebytes to check the files on the PC (I found over 200 issues and I deleted everything), then I tried the key again and this appeared:
    1. Hello
      I think you don't have internet access (or not yet)
      so first check your connection information or if you have a device alert on the network card, maybe just a driver that needs to be updated
      1. re
        not all drivers are working; Malwarebytes is functioning normally, it is installed but doesn’t need internet (except for updates)
        so we are back to a possible issue with the network card
        you did not mention checking this point!
        are you currently connected to the internet or not
        if yes, is it wired? (RJ45) or Wi-Fi? if Wi-Fi, have you tried wired, and vice versa
        is this a company PC? or a PC that is part of a private network? or none of that?
        1. Yes, I am connected to the internet via Wi-Fi, but I don't see how connecting via Ethernet would change anything :(
          And what should I do for the network card?
        2. The PC used to be part of a university, but all the components have been changed.
      2. re
        right-click on the blue Windows icon at the bottom left, then Device Manager, then look or expand "Network Adapter" to see if you have any issues with the controller or driver.
        1. While scrolling, there are indeed several things, but I don’t know how to tell if there’s a problem :/ I copied the name of the network card, it’s a Realtek 8821CU Wireless LAN 802.11ac USB NIC. Do you know where I can find the driver updates?
      3. Hello,

        There is probably a volume KMS license activation procedure inherited from the university (which fails if this server is no longer reachable, not configured, the license is no longer valid...)
        1. Hello, how can I activate the license anyway?
      4. re
        1) Do you have any triangle or other alert?
        If there is nothing, then everything is fine, so we don't touch anything!
        2) If you are connected to the internet: it doesn't matter whether it's wired or via wifi
        the issue may come from too low a bandwidth, which means the server takes too long to respond and ends up timed out
        solution: turn off all other devices using the wifi: TV, other PCs, phones, and so on
        try the online activation again
        if it still doesn't work, you'll need to do it by phone

        To activate Windows 10 by phone:

        Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Activation.
        Under the Activate Windows now section, select Activate by phone.
        Choose your location (or the closest location) from the dropdown list, then select Next.
        Call one of the available listed phone numbers. An automated system will guide you through the activation process. If you cannot complete the operation correctly, you will be connected to Microsoft support in your region and country.

        If you do not have the Phone Activation option:


        Press the Windows Key + R, type slui 4 in the Run box, then select OK.
        Choose your location (or the closest location) from the dropdown list, then select Next.
        Call one of the available listed phone numbers. An automated system will guide you through the activation process. If you cannot complete the operation correctly, you will be connected to Microsoft support in your region and country.
        1. I have this message while using slui 4

        Hi,

        I had an activation issue

        I changed the motherboard, formatted the HDD, installed Windows on the same drive

        At first, it told me Windows is activated with a digital license...

        After a restart, it says the hardware configuration has changed, activate Windows...

        I tried with my key, never succeeded

        I had to reinstall Windows a second time...

        So reinstall Windows.
        1. oh.. There should be a way not to reinstall, right?
        2. @brucineoh ok and among all these commands, which one is it?
        3. @XylaTVPowerShell, as administrator.

          To uninstall the key:

          slmgr.vbs / upk

          To remove it from the registry:

          slmgr.vbs / cpky

          You can install a new one using a similar command once a product key (which MUST correspond to the type of installed version) has been purchased for a few euros online.
        4. @brucineAfter deleting and re-adding a valid key, it still doesn't work. In fact, we are still in some sort of organization.

        Hello

         I used Malwarebyte to check the files on the PC (I found over 200 issues and deleted everything), then I tried the key again and this appeared: 


        Automatic tools don't see everything, and 200 "issues" is a lot, but we should see what it found.

        A FRST scan wouldn't hurt to check the PC

        Can you post the Malwarebytes report that contains these detections?

        => After restarting, open MBAM again.
        => Click on the Report tab
        => Select the corresponding file --> Click on View report
        => Click on Export --> Text file (TXT)
        => The Save dialog box opens
        => Give it a name and save it to the Desktop
        => Host the report on https://up.security-x.fr/ and post the link obtained in your next response.

          @XylaTVYou need to click on the Analysis tab and then Reports.
      7. I found on a site that I could do this

        Then I received this message
        What am I supposed to understand from this?

          I think you work a lot for a few cents.
        2. As long as you don't purchase a genuine license, your Windows 10 will not be activated.
        3. @kaumunethe licenses are valid there is no problem :/

          @XylaTVDoes that mean you can mark it as resolved?
        5. @fabulnon Windows always shows the error message saying that I can't connect to my organization's network (the image at the very beginning)
      8. Finally found it!
