OEM key for Win7 Pro not working on Win10

Upgraded a Windows 7 Pro computer(OEM-licensed) with Windows 10 Pro but the OEM license key(on the Microsoft sticker) does not work. The upgrade was a clean install from a USB-stick. Anyone who has the same problem?

Hi akjersem, welcome to the forums,
an upgrade needs to be performed by starting the process from within the existing qulaified operating system, hopefully this reply in another thread will prove useful for you;

  • Short key for copy does not work all the time now.

    After I have installed the latest OSX - Yosemite, my short key for copy does not work all the time.  It is infrequent how it works. I'm using the same keyboard that I have always used, my wireless logitech keyboard for mac.  Please help.

    I've plugged in my default mac keyboard and the short key copy still does not work.

  • Spacebar quick key for Hand tool not working.

    I have a brand new imac intel i7  27" and have installed photoshop cs5, but the spacebar hand tool is not  working. any ideas?
    the hand tool and all other tools work, just the shortcut  key of holding the spacebar doesn't work.
    Thanks,

    I found that when I quit Firefox the spacebar works again as a shortcut for the hand tool. However as soon as I sign in to my gmail account it stops working. This is so frustrating! Will there be a fix for this sometime in the near future?

  • App Store "Option key for purchase" does not work to reinsatll Lion

    Hello,
    I was able to re-install Lion from the App Store
    by holding the "option key" while clicking on "Prchased" in the App store
    Since I upgraded to 10.7.1 this does not work anymore !
    Is it the upgrade to 10.7.1 that"s preventing a new download ?
    or
    Is it Apple that cancelled that access ?
    One way or the other how do I reinsatll Lion ? 
    Note: I have too many partition on my drive, so it did not create a "restore HD" for LIon
    Thanks

    My problem was resolved the following day, today. I went to the App Store then to Purchased. The associated button said Resume. Yesterday that had been totally unresponsive but today when I clicked it the download resumed for another minute or two and then Lion just installed. I presume that the system was just being pushed to the limit and beyond yeasterday.
    I hope that you have solved your difficulty - good luck!

  • Keys on MacBook Pro not working

    certain keys on my keyboard are not working.  m,k,l,i,o and 8,9,0.  I have tried the trouble shooting tips on the apple support site, didn't work.  Any ideas?

    Hi Coleen,
    Your MBP comes with a one year hardware warranty. Call AppleCare or take it into an Apple Store or AASP.

  • FaceTime for Macbook Pro not working.

    FaceTime for Macbook Pro has suddenly stopped working. Everytime I try to call one of my contacts it says FaceTime failed, and also whenever someone tries to call me. My FaceTime on my iPhone 5 works perfectly. All software is up to date, keychains reset, and troubleshooting was no help. Nothing works. I have signed out, turned off then back on, and also restarted my computer. Any ideas?

    Unable to make or receive FaceTime calls after April 16, 2014

  • How can I get Apple to give me an activation key for QT Pro that works?

    Stopping at the Genius Bar last night, they suggested I upgrade my QT Viewer to Pro so I could move some of my digital video over to my iPone. I followed the purchase/download instructions and after putting in the activation code, I was NOT redirected to the page to activate the Pro version. I did the usual of retyping ny name, the key and even installed QT Viewer again, all to no avail.
    I caled Apple support this morning and was told to call QT support and have them make my key recognizable. The only problem is the number she gave me for QT support says there is no QT phone support, only web information on frequently asked questions and this forum. I sort of feel like I am going in a circle.
    So if anyone has the magical answer on how I can get Apple to give me an activation key that actually works without being able to speak or email a human support person, I would very much appreciate it.
    Thank you.

    Kirk,
    Thanks again for your suggestions. No, I don't get an
    error message. In fact nothing happens. My name and
    key are typed in and from what I understand, once you
    do that with a real key it directs you to the
    registration page. When I get done entering the
    information the window just sits there without any
    button or option to continue.
    QT Pro is already in the QT (non-pro) you installed and the key (which is a hash of your name in part) allows the Pro features to work.
    No redirect, internet, nothing like that. As such many people have activated and think they haven't. Just look at the menu items and see if the "Pro" logo is shown next to a few (which are greyed out and not available without Pro). If not you are done.

  • Option Key for Boot Camp not working with New iMac Keyboard

    Hi, I own a early 2006 Intel iMac. Recently, my wife complained that the keyboard was getting dirty. Basically I think she liked the new keyboard on the new Aluminum iMac better. We purchased it back in August and everything worked great. Oh I also had the beta version of Boot Camp installed. Everything worked great, hold Option down on boot and could choose which OS to go into.
    Fast forward to now, purchased Leopard and love it! Decided to wipe the system and do a fresh install. Everything is installed (Leopard, Boot Camp, Windows XP) and working great, that is except when I press and hold the Option key at start up. If I have the new keyboard installed, the Option key does not bring up the boot manager. However if I plug the original keyboard in and hold Option, it works!!!
    Ok I could see a problem if the new keyboard was NOT an Apple product. But it is and frustraiting as I can use the control panel to choose. This is a long round about method and does not make a happy wife with me. HELP!
    Jhan Jensen

    Thanks for the info! I was about to call myself and I may still do so. I am hoping if Apple gets enough of these calls then maybe it will spur them on to get it done sooner. (Apple are you listening) I will do the same with the KB swapping, she will be happy at least she can still use the new keyboard. She types a lot and has be really happy with the new keyboard and its response.
    Thanks again for the help!!!

  • New iMac as second display for MacBook Pro not working

    I just bought the new thin 2012 27" iMac as a replacement to the last model I had.
    I want to use the iMac as a second display for my 2012 MacBook Pro.
    I have a Mini Display Port to Mini Display Port cable that used to work with my previous setup and at work with my external display.
    However, this isn't working on the new iMac. When I try the Command + F2 suggestion I've seen in the forums here. Nothing happens.
    Do I need a new cable now that these are "thunderbolt" connections?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Demetre

    You will most likely need a Thunderbolt cable as they are both Thunderbolt devices and not Mini DisplayPort.

  • Satellite C55-A: F key for brightness is not working

    I have installed Windows 7 32bit in a (originally OS-free) satellite C55-A-1J9 notebook and I can't change the screen brightness.
    I have installed various versions of the required Value Added Package but none of them worked.
    Some didn't even map the Fn keys correctly from my keyboard to the control panel of this utility.
    The current version I have is the vap-20130916115251. The Fn keys are in the correct order but F2-F3 aren't working.
    What can I do?
    Cheers,
    Akis

    >The Fn keys are in the correct order but F2-F3 aren't working.
    Does this mean that ONLY FN+F2 and Fn+F3 dont work but other keys are do?
    I think case I think that this problem is not related to the Windows 7 Value Added Package
    Did you install the essential nVidia and Intel graphic card drivers available for the Satellite C55-A-1J9 PSCGCE series?

    Any solution?

    First make sure you are using the correct serial number.
