Win 8 - problem with Windows license
Hello,
I have purchased the Dell Inspiron-15 laptop in October 2014.
The microsoft product - Win 8.1 Pro was sold along with the PC. This was a fully embedded verion, i.e neither Flash nor DVD containing the purschased operation system were supplied.
The service tag of the PC is: <ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy>
These days all MS costomers having official version of win 7,8,8.1 are entitled to upgrade to windows 10. After having tried to upgrade my Windows to and all of a sudden I have found out that it can't be upgraded because I have a specific license named "Volume License", which has certain limitations.
I called Microsoft, they proposed me to contact "DELL" and resolve this problem by simply getting a proper product key, which entitles me to activate my Windows.
What should I do? Who I can contact about my problem?
Thanks,
Eli

If you don't have success Reinstalling Windows 8.1 then upgrade via the intermediate Clean Install of Windows 10130:
