***Automated activation process took care of it.***
"Windows 8.1 Pro and build # appear on Desktop" - which means it's not activated...
When I attempt to activate, the last five characters of the string are shown, so it knows who I am.
Enter the full string and it reports "this ID is being used by another PC" (which it's not).
The ID on the Desktop does vanish, but Windows still says it's not activated.
It was activated years ago, and until now has not prompted for same. So the query: how to reactivate?
