Is - this Windows 7 product key is legitimate?

Dear Microsoft Activation Support,

Windows Update suddenly stopped working properly on a home-built computer a local technician for me, although it works very well for the last 10 months ('Successful' for each of the elements of update, many showing each month).

Now, history shows mainly "down" sometimes an update or two would show "Successful" for a few minutes but then when I rebooted, it says that Windows Update was never performed on the computer and my story disappeared, including all those in the past 10 months.  And a few times he says that Windows Update never "checked for updates" even if I "Check for updates" minutes before, in fact, several times!  Windows 7 works, my programs work, it's just that Windows Update does not work and I know how it is important to have my operating system up-to-date with the most recent bug fixes and security enhancements.

So I took it for repair.  He said I had bad RAM and it "replaces the RAM" and also "installed Windows 7 from scratch."

When I'm back, the computer, I have re-installed all my programs and all my files.  Windows Update seems to work very well.  Then, a few days later, I checked 'Computer, properties' and he said '1 day until Automatic Activation '.  Not wanting to wait until the computer has stopped working, I clicked activate now.  He asked for a product key.  I do not have a Windows 7 DVD of the person who built my computer, so I have no product key.

I called him and he said "don't worry, this is a volume license" and that it connect to my computer and enter it.

I allow it to connect to my computer via www.mikogo.com and he entered this product key (I recorded the session, so I have verbatim):

{deleted} - C6D4Y - 88272-RMCVY

This key does not activate.  I looked at he chose "Use the telephone system automated to enable" - but I don't think he had enough time to do step 1, which is to dial a toll-free number, then enter (or say) all numbers shown as an installation ID (which are the 9 sets of numbers, 6 numbers in each set, for a total of 54 numbers) and then get an automated (or human) response.  In fact, I think he may have used a KeyGen or Crack to get the Confirmation ID because it has worked pretty quickly and it all happened very quickly.

This is the ID of the Installation as described in step 2 of the activation of the phone screen:

021924 056495 544131 443023 282893 687975 860856 650265 516524

Here's the Confirmation ID, he entered the boxes A - H on step 3:

482552 493453 408064 268814 022305 809576 427370 040231

Windows is, in fact, now enabled, but now I have my doubts.  I wonder if my Windows 7 is genuine and properly active, or if I have sort of a pirated copy is likely of me who-knows-what kind of problems in the future.

I called Microsoft and they said I should post the details on this website and that Microsoft would confirm within 24 hours if the above key (the so-called "volume license") and/or the Confirmation ID are legitimate or not.

Thank you in advance, Microsoft, for your timely response.

According to your report, the operating system is allowed and all removed ok.

    OEM versions are related to the 1st motherboard they are installed and can not be activated on another motherboard. The only exception is the 'mother' is exactly the same make / model / part number as the original motherboard.

    Commercial versions can be moved from one computer to another without problem except that the the phone activation may be required.

    Is my Windows my product key license? Also, if I want to download the iso of Windows 7 yes I need to buy a license/product key of Windows 7? Or my Windows 10 will work?

    Your license is the product key.

    You don't need to buy a license if you already have a product key.

    Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

    Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC?

    If you know the correct product key, you can block the user in use- but it won't stop them reformatting and reinstalling using recovery disks from the manufacturer to reinstall using the OEM_SLP key - and it would also prevent your use your laptop must be returned.

    You must contact one of the centers of activation and inform them of the keys and the circumstances.

    They will then issue a global block on the key (which can take a long time) which will result in any attempt to validate or activate any system with this key, which gives a non-genuine message on the desktop - it will NOT prevent the use of the system, and it will NOT stop the user both take steps to steal the data and/or reformatting/reinstall.

    Also note that the key on the COA sticker on the case of the machine is not normally the one in use,- and if the key OEM_SLP is still in use, MS can take no action at all, as thousands of others would be affected.

  • Reinstallation of Windows 7 product key question valid.

    I see a lot of another similar post here, but none the explicitly to help me in my situation, as I understand it. I have problems with my computers that confuse me now. Both my laptop and desktop computer had hard drive failure and I replaced the drives in both entities (nothing else). Today, I have reinstalled Windows 7 on two of them (the sticker COST says Windows 7 Home Prem OA), I entered for each respective product keys and none worked properly. Both computers say I entered the product key is invalid for activation. I tried this for 32-bit and 64-bit versions (my laptop was 64-bit before the hard drive failed, I don't know what was the office, but the diagnostics say it is capable of 64 - bit) and it made no difference.

    It would be my time to search around, that the replacement of the hard drive should not cause this problem. I am not mistaken? Is there no way to reinstall Windows 7 using existing product keys? I received my links to download other messages here but the installer for this installation of Windows 7 Home Prem has an agreement of Service Pack 1 installation, should I be looking for a different version? What does the acronym for OA?

    Hello

    You are allowed to change hard drives; the motherboard with OEM (preinstalled or system builders licenses) are the problem.

    And with or without Service Pack 1 download works with the product key on the COA sticker.

    This is the product key that is all important.

    If you have followed these steps to reinstall, follow the phone Activation section for activation problems and brace yourself for a real person explain to the:
