Hello,

Today, I received a phone from +49 1522 3435007. They told they were from Microsoft and wanted me to change my Windows 10 license number. I think that it was a hacking attempt.

    It was a scam attempt of some type. Sounds like you didn't allow remote access to your computer or promise to pay them for some service or another, so there's nothing you need to do.

    This info may be helpful in recognizing future scam attempts.
