Oh man. I bought a win 10 retail box and the key is valid, yet activation just keeps failing. I have been putting off calling support because this is for my gaming only PC. Maybe I shouldn’t bother calling whatever Indian body shop that MS uses for this and I should just crack it myself? Seems safer? Is it? Can anyone point me to a trustworthy crack and place to get it? I hate this company and I am kicking past me who spent much of my early career gleefully switching hundreds of firms over to windows from Novell.
