Activation error after performing a clean install of Windows 10 on Lenovo laptop
To get the free upgrade to Windows 10, you need to first upgrade from Windows 8/8.1 to Windows 10. Using any other method to install Windows 10 will not recognize your Windows key as valid. The reason for this is that when you upgrade from Windows 8/8.1 to Windows 10, your Windows product key is also upgraded. Performing a clean install is only advised after you have upgraded to Windows 10 and successfully activated it.

I have a Model S-540 with Win.10 and after a few days of use the display screen started showing a black background and white text. How do I get this back to normal white background and dark text?
