Buying Windows On Ebay HOT!
Make sure you have the machine successfully connected to the Internet. And if it has been or now is successfully connected to the Internet, go to the Start menu and under Settings go to "Update & Security" and then "Activation" and invoke the "Troubleshooter" link.

buying windows on ebay
Because if you can install /that/ version of Windows and get it activated, you can still upgrade to Windows 10 for free from Microsoft. (Google the Microsoft assistive technologies upgrade.) If that sounds like too much hassle, which it legitimately can, then buying just the Windows 10 activation key to that you can activate your existing install is the remaining way to go.
The last time I purchased a laptop was in the era of Windows 7. It came with an activated copy of windows. That old unit upgraded to Windows 10 seamlessly. Whereas Windows 7 & earlier versions would not work without Microsoft activation (usually with a code), Windows 10 is not so fussy. Now units can be sold with Windows 10 installed, but not activated.
I bought a refurbished HP Laptop with Windows 10 Pro, it has a key and it is activated. I bought through WalMart on-line. I do not trust buying a computer from eBay and will not buy any electronics on this site because to me it is fake advertising.
Thanks for your response! I have resolved this particular issue by paying for a key, but have faced similar issues with older equipment which I have resolved by abandoning Windows and installing Linux variations. Linux + the Firefox browser (Chrome was choosey and would not install on one of my slow units) has been working nicely for my needs. Microsoft software for windows has been functionally duplicated for the Linux platform. I do most of my work online anyhow wth my various Arnold Collections including The Earl J. Arnold Advertising Card Collection - 1885 and the The Arnold Galleries
as with OEM - they can be used by OEM (original equipment manufacturer / Dell, HP as example) or system builders (guys who are building pc/servers from components or adding them) - and per MS and BSA - you OEM license is valid ONLY if you can provide proof of buying - an invoice which will have a computer and OEM licence in it for example) and this OEM sticker has to be attached to this machine........
