I do not see the logic in this: enter image description here

Windows 8 is activated (legitimately) and yet, I can't add additional features. Why is this happening? I have reset my computer after activation, and to be honest, I don't know what to do now...

    which edition do you use? Do you use a Retail or VL key? Jun 9, 2013 at 14:10

Try updating the Windows Product Key:

Press: Windows key + R

Type in: slui 3 and hit Enter

Enter your Windows 8 key.

Now reboot your PC.

Activate it again:

Type in: slui 4 and press Enter

Reboot your computer again.

You might want to try re-activating your copy of Windows 8.

To do this, go to left bottom corner of your screen and right click to get a menu. Select Command Prompt (Admin)

Now, At command prompt, type in "slmgr.vbs -ipk "

slmgr.vbs -ipk 00000-00000-00000-00000-00000

Replace 0000s with your product key and press Enter.

You will get a prompt saying that the key has been installed. Next type slmgr.vbs /ato

You can also check detailed licensing info by typing in slmgr.vbs /dlv.

Hope this helps!
