This is crazy frustrating: I\u2019m trying to change the background color on my Windows 8 Pro system and am getting an error that I need to \u201cActivate my Windows 8 Settings\u201d. How do I fix this?<\/i><\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave&#8217;s Answer: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think you\u2019re reading that error message slightly wrong, actually. I imagine that it say something more akin to \u201cYou must activate your Windows 8 before you can change your settings\u201d. Which leads to the question of what exactly does Microsoft mean by activation?<\/p>\n<p>(I\u2019m tempted to say that it depends on your definition of \u201cit\u201d but I won\u2019t!)<\/p>\n<p>Since it\u2019s so ridiculously easy nowadays for people to copy and download files of even 1GB or larger, the challenge companies like Microsoft have is to ensure that you bought that OS you\u2019re running, you didn\u2019t just grab it off the \u2018net and install it. To address that, what you\u2019re really buying when you purchase a copy of Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro is a license key. Everything else can be downloaded for free \u2014 even off the Microsoft site \u2014 but that license key? That\u2019s pure gold and not something you can find for free. Nor should you share it, by the way: they\u2019re generally good for one installation, not dozens or more.<\/p>\n<p>Our copy of Windows 8 Pro was in a box with the master DVD of the system. Also in the box was a small plastic card, almost a credit card, that had the license activation key printed thereon. And that\u2019s the proverbial key to the kingdom. If you have a computer that had Windows 8 preinstalled, that\u2019s known as an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) copy and it should come with your Win8 activation key in the paperwork included. If not, call \u2018em up and complain: they\u2019ve bought the license for your computer from Microsoft, they\u2019re supposed to share the key with you in case you ever have to reinstall.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s step through how to activate your copy of Windows 8 so you can see how it all works.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.askdavetaylor.com\/how-do-i-activate-my-windows-8-pc-settings\/\" target=\"_blank\">Article Continued Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><font SIZE=\"2\"><\/p>\n<p>This post is excerpted with permission from Dave Taylor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:www.askdavetaylor.com\">Sign up for Dave&#8217;s emails<\/a> about free tech support and special offers on books, seminars, workshops and more.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/win8-enter-license-product-key-1-150x150.png\" alt=\"win8-enter-license-product-key-1\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-46993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/win8-enter-license-product-key-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/win8-enter-license-product-key-1-144x144.png 144w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Trying to change the background color on a Windows 8 Pro system and am getting an error saying you need to \u201cActivate my Windows 8 Settings\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":66012,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[799],"tags":[720,538],"class_list":["post-46990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ask-dave-taylor","tag-microsoft-windows-8","tag-windows-8"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
