Microsoft revoking my key?...

[Stevers108]

Today after I had some errors occur, I decided to refresh my PC (after 4 years of having it, I've never refreshed it). It reverted back to Windows 8 (I upgraded legally through the app store to 8.1) and now it says my Windows 8 key is invalid... It came pre-installed on my system... I'm so mad right now.. Is there anything I can do?

Microsoft should have no issue restoring the license to your PC. Looks like the refresh was using a key that was now tied to Windows 8.1 instead of 8.

I contacted HP (I bought a basic PC and tore it down 2 years ago to re-build it) but nonetheless, I will definitely contact them tomorrow. Thanks guys, I needed to rant to somebody

Microsoft has been pretty good at activating keys that stopped working for me so do that text chat thing with them and they should be able to fix it
