So I got my OC build today and it's great except one small problem..

Windows 10 isn't activated and I can't find a product key anywhere in my paperwork or in an email from Overclockers. Thought maybe it'd have a digital licence or something, do they normally activate fine out the box when you get a build with an OS or do they send you a key in some way and I'm just not finding it?

Edit: Was able to find a product key using software but windows says it's not valid. Guess I'll have to contact them.

You can contact them on the forum. Should be as easy fix.

Done and done. They sent me a new product key sharpish and that worked fine. I think it's quite an easy error to make when building systems for somebody else just because of the way they register copies of Windows 10 and link it to an account and motherboard now.

If you paid for a Windows 10 licence on your build it should be attached to your PC or at the very least you should have the 'pack' with the licence key.
