Put in the product key, he says it is not valid

Original title: Vista to Windows 7

I bought a copy of windows 7 from amazon to put on my laptop which has vista. It installs fine, but when I put in the product key it says it's invalid. First tried to put that did not work so I did the clean install and it worked but would not activate. Looks like a legal copy but wont accept the number. Sticker on the cover says windows7 pro lcp for oem software. This is not a certificate of authenticity is all the more the sticker next to the key. I'm stuck and need some advice.

Did you buy it directly from amazon.com or amazon marketplace? If you bought it in the market place, it is not authentic. OEM of Windows versions cannot make one installs clean.

    Trevor,

    Since it is a subject as serious please would mention what exactly the error message to avoid any misunderstanding about the advice you are given.

    A Bios license message seems to make no sense as long as the bios is a piece of hardware that is part of the motherboard of your computer.

  • I get a popup stating the windows key that I use is not valid.

    Activate Windows when already activated?

    I just did a major update to my computer with a new motherboard, video card and processor, and now I get a popup stating the windows key that I use is not valid. The key on the sticker still gives me the same error. Any advice? Activate Windows when already activated?

    If your copy of WIndows was preinstalled, it rests on an OEM license.

    These licenses cannot be moved to the new motherboard, except under the conditions of warranty replacement.

    You will need to purchase a new complete commercial for Windows license.

  • Why my computer says 'unacceptable character' when I try to put in the product key?

    For some reason any my wallpaper went, he says "this copy of windows is not genuine."  So I'm on here looking for answers, the site recommended to retype the product key, but will not let me type some characters. I'm putting in the exact same, what should I do?

    This would happen only if you try to enter characters other than numbers and letters. Don't include any hyphens when entering the key. You should also include all other symbols.

  • My product key for Windows 7 is NOT valid. -HELP! --

    I've owned my computer provided WITH Windows 7 for 3 years now. I had a virus on my computer, and that he had removed some files windows making my computer almost impossible to perform. So I tried to reinstall windows 7.  I did what he asked and put the product key in and everything was fine. It was a few months ago, however. Now the same question came with another virus, and tried to reinstall windows 7, but only this time when I went to put the product key in, it says it is invalid. I'm now running on a Windows 7 30 day trial when I already bought and owned by the operating system for almost THREE YEARS. I don't know what to do. From now on, my only option is to buy Windows 8 because of its price, but I don't have the money to afford at the moment. So at least one month, my computer will be usable United Nations even if I have already paid and this OS for 3 years. Any help would be greatly appreciated, my trial is running short and I don't have time to waste.
