Separated from this thread.

I just called a support person to the Viet Nam. She explained that the problem is due to, I bought this Dell XPS in the United States, so he couldn't use the Viet Nam? funny explainatory. And she suggest me contact with Dell in the United States?

Oh my god. Very bad support of the Viet Nam from Microsoft.

Hello

Please keep us updated,

As you mentioned that support staff has informed you that you can not activate your product key from your current location since your product was purchased from Dell XPS USA., which means that your product key is Geoblocked.

The GeoBlock is a feature used by small businesses, which, for various reasons, want if ensure that their machines can still work - but do not have need for them to work outside of a specific geographical area. So in this case you will need to contact Microsoft Support for activation. See the link below for more information about the activation of your product:

Hope this information was helpful and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help.

    They are apparently using Maks and might have exceeded the number of allowed activations. These key types should not be sold to the public, then Yes, go back to the shop and ask for a version legitimate Windows.

    Demand for the OEM integrators (unopened) packaged product version, it's what you want. If you have a 64-bit version installed, then you must the version of 64-bit system builders. You will most likely need to re - install Windows I doubt the OEM will work, but you can try.

    =================================

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
    Operation of the network.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.
