Hi,
I bought a Lenovo laptop in which I got Windows 8 and then 8.1 included. Later I formatted my laptop and deleted the recovery partition also. Then somehow I got Windows 8.1 off the internet and installed it without the need of the key and it was all working fine.
Today I came to know from someone that if I joined Windows Insider program for Windows 10 and install the preview now then I would get a genuine copy for free when it releases. So I did the installed Windows 10 and all went fine.
After few hours now its asking me to Activate but its not getting activated. The Error code is: 0x8007007B
So my questions:
1. Will I get Windows 10 for free as a upgrade becuase I have a genuine key given to me by OEM (Lenovo) which is hard coded in the bios ?
2. Or will I get geunine Windows 10 as I have installed Windows 10 preview ?
Thanks.
