Delivered with unactivated Windows 8.1 (EDIT false alarm)

[Stefan]

Came right out of the box with user “S” account, checked the system info, not activated. 🙁

<span style=”line-height: 1.5;”>Trying to activate it doesn’t seem to work, gave an unspecified error. And the gearbest “24/7” customer service chat is currently offline… >:(</span>

Don’t have a spare 8.1 license currently, also I know I shouldn’t have to. Hope this gets settled without sending it back.

Thankfully, this resolved itself when I changed time zone and fetched the current time. Very crisp screen. Got so much to explore now… 😀

Good to hear it fixed itself. Sometimes its not activated and later once online it will activate. Normally all tablets I recieve have a user name as they do a QC check before sending the tablets out. I don’t mind as long as its fault free. My last one had photos of some Chinese lady in an assembly warehouse, I guess it was Chuwi factory checks testing the front camera was working or the testing and packing team.

It was already online, but the device thought it was May and located in China, so the activation server plain refused me before I changed that. 😉

No problem with the S user, everything got wiped with 10 anyway. Thanks for this forum BTW, lots of useful information here. 🙂
