Are you sure the license you had was a Retail license? If it's OEM then you're not able to transfer it. If it's retail (and legally obtained) you should find the product key and contact microsoft to link the license to a microsoft account. Then you should be able to log on in windows with that microsoft account and it should be able to activate.

then simply contact Microsoft Technical Support and listen to all the prompts; choose the correct menu numbers...and you'll end up being able to speak with a Consultant...and in all likelhood, he'll give you the code numbers for your system to be reactivated...google up the number for your locale...I have done this multiple times on different PCs...all were able to be saved...and reactivated...

call them.

or buy a "china licence" for like 10$

Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously.

keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed.

i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

are there any risks like hidden stuff or smnt ?

i got mine for 120dkk (20$) (18€) from a danish website that sold china licences.

it's not a licence from china but it's because it's super cheap and fishy.

i've not had any problems with my pc as far as i'm aware that's connected to the fact that i used one of thoose.

the chinesium keys are questionable whether they have sold it to other people. I know Volume License keys can be used 50 times before MS locks them, but those are different to OEM. I have no idea how they get so many OEM keys. MS might one day determine your chinesium key is not valid and put you in this place where you started. MS does really cool (and creepy) stuff with the data on its activation servers. There was an academic paper published a few years ago that revealed they data mine activation servers to locate pirates.

 

There is always rocket league on linux.
