Freshly reinstalled Windows 7 Pro will not activate

I have a Dell Optiplex 780, which has a Windows 7 Pro OEM sticker on it.  For some reason the previous TECHNOLOGY provider decided to install Windows XP on this machine and I am trying to fix this error.

Unfortunately, while the installation program gladly accepts the key of the sticker, activation failed.  Œuvres of activation, phone, or internet.

I tried to use the Dell SLP key as well, obviously no chance.

Dell offers more OEM media for this machine as far as I can find, and I don't want the OEM media still because it is full of additional bloatware, that no sane person would want.

How can I install the OS that computer was purchased with the help of the legitimate license attached to the machine key?

I've never had problems with this in the past, other OEM machines worked fine with the same installation media using the keys of their COST.  The phone activation is usually required, but worked at the difference this time.

When you attempt to activate phone talk to a tech representative, if not try the phone activation once again as follows:

    I just format the hard drive and install Windows 10. Windows 10 was activate very well! The main reason why I installed Windows 8 was first because I thought that it was necessary for the activation of Windows 10.

  • Windows 7 Pro will not restart if printer on.

    Hello

    When you click Restart, Windows 7 Pro will not reboot with a printer hp (L7680 or C309a) turned on.  The screen remains right on "Starting Windows".  Windows continues to load after that whatever printer is turned on.

    This problem just started.  Never happened before.  I could always click on restart without problem before.

    Any help?

    Hey joe_do,

    I see that you have a problem with the sequence of starting your Windows 7 Pro computer when one of your 2 HP printers are turned on.  How are these 2 printers connected to this PC?

    Looks like that devices can be connected to USB and somehow the computer boot sequence put the emphasis for USB on the internal HARD disk.

  • Windows XP Pro will not update

    Windows Update identifies 99 updates and starts to download, but will fail on the whole.

    (1) how long updated this issue took place?

    (2) what is the suite of security/antivirus installed; is it's subscription and current definitions; has whatever it is detected the last time that the system has been scanned with it?

    You can reset the Windows Update components, but, if the malware is present on the system update will still be blocked by the malware.

    Suggest you try to have the system scanned both of the following in the order next-

    How to remove malware belonging to the family Rootkit.Win32.TDSS
    Microsoft safety scanner.

    If no malware is present - How to reset the Windows Updates components?

    Download and save the Fixit from the page above.
    Close all open programs and browsers before running the Fixit.
    Given that the downloads fail, when you run the Fixit choose it is the default mode when you run it the first time.
    When he finished, check if download updates now.

    If updates are still not download after running it, then run it again and choose it's aggressive mode.
    Then reboot and see if the download updates now.
