The prime directive

The prime directive: If you’re prompted for a product key but don’t have one, don’t sweat it



The Prime Directive • Don’t bother trying to find a Windows 10 key. • Chances are very good that Windows will recognize the error of its ways and not bother you again, although it may take a couple of days for the activation routine to figure it out.


The Prime Directive • If you get repeated prompts, see the section below on Activation problems.


Installer hangs for hours or reboots continuously • First, make sure you’ve disconnected any nonessential hardware: Unplug all hard drives other than the C: drive. Yank that external hard drive, disconnect peripherals that aren’t absolutely necessary, including extra monitors, smart card readers, weird keyboards, whatever.


Error: “Something Happened 0x80070005-0x90002”

• The Windows 10 installer has such descriptive error codes, doesn’t it? This one’s a classic. • The 80070005 error has been around for ages, and it generally means that the installer can’t work with a file that it needs.


Error: “Something Happened 0x80070005-0x90002”

• Disable all antivirus and firewalls. Yes, even Microsoft’s. • Reset Windows Update by going to KB 971058 and running the Fixit.


Error: “Something Happened 0x80070005-0x90002”

• Run the Windows 10 installer again (presumably through Windows Update). • If that doesn’t work, turn your AV and firewall back on, then follow the instructions at KB 947821 to run DISM or the System Update Readiness Tool. • Turn off your AV and firewall, then try installing Win10 again.
