Hi,
Some time ago I upgraded from windows 8 to 8.1, last week I suddenly got a corrupted spool driver which made my laptop unable to boot into windows, blue screen etc. So I did a system refresh in the recovery boot section of windows. (System refresh sets your pc back to factory state without deleting your personal files. )
The refresh went fine, until I had booted into windows again, only to discover my OEM windows 8 was not activated any more!! To make matters worse, the product key is recognized by windows, but it tells me the activationserver blocked my productkey!!
I was flabbergasted, I'm an IT guy myself and nothing seems to work to undo this. Tried to call microsoft, they refuse to even pick up the phone so i figure i'll come overhere. Since my laptop is an HP Envy 17-j006ed.
How can I reactivate my Windows again???!!!
