any computer experts on?

the message I'm getting is it's a 'default product key' and 'cannot be used for activation'

Get a mac.

Use windows 7 loader (google it) (torrent/irc/p2p). You can activate your win7 and install the serial # you have. Its a backdoor way of doing it, but:

1. windows 7 will be activated
2. you will be using a s/n you actually paid for.

just thought i'd do the 'right' thing

will think again next fucking time.


It's OK, we all learn.

There's some good advice in this thread if you still want to crack the key. Remove WAT is excellent, removes the key allowing you to use 7 permanently. Otherwise, if you want to do it the right way, you're going to have to jump through hoops. Up to you.


that Remove Wat has been fucked by the latest WU apparantley

Why would you buy winblows?

I've got an old laptop that had Vista on, so decided to upgrade it to Windows 7 and give it to my daughter.

Things went well, until i tried to activate the shite. I bought the software online from an OEM site, but bought the FULL version instead of an upgrade version. why that should make ANY difference at all I don't know, but I think that is why it won't accept the code that came with the software bundle.

I have 4 reloads of the 30 day trial left, so I'm OK for 150 days, but I want it to last MUCH longer than that hopefully.

I found an old vista key using a keyfinder program, and managed to delete it from the registry, but it's still not letting me activate the shite even though that key isn't in the registry any more.

any ideas?

Oh, and Gates, die you Mother Fucker!

any help would be appreciated.

you're gonna tell me i have to do a clean install, aren't you?



please, someone come up with a nifty way around this shit.

I've sent tickets to the online company requesting help, but they have my money now, don't they? probably won't hear another world from them.
