Six years old copy of Windows 7 Professional now is more authentic.
I bought my copy of Windows 7 Professional from NewEgg some time in 2009. I then installed on my new computer and have used it several times since then to make fresh re - installs due to drive failure hard, either because I bought new equipment. I recently got a new SSD and decided to seize the opportunity to make an another re-install. I've never had any trouble activating after each installation in the past, but this time, no matter what I do or how I'm trying to activate it, I said repeatedly that this copy of windows is not genuine. I tell you what, however. I have 2 drives (32 bit and 64 bit) in a package of upgrade of retail with a valid product code. (I can provide pictures if necessary). I tried to validate using the tool Microsoft online without success. I used the phone app and the app assisted voice online with the same results. Is someone can you please tell me how I can restore the validity of my copy of windows. Thank you
Charlie

Hello.. I bought a Microsoft Windows XP Professional genuine Cd a few years ago. But my PC is now out of use due to some electrical problems and WIN XP
has been installed on this computer. Now, I bought a new PC how can I obtain a new permit for the same windows, that I am able to use it on my new PC? Thank you
original title: new license for my WIN XP
It seems that you bought an XP license retail. If so, you can just install this same drive with the same license key on your new machine as your old machine is no longer operational. A retail license should be transferable, while an OEM license is bound to the first machine that it has been installed on.
Details are set out on this Microsoft license FAQ:

original title: How can I activate my genuine copy of Windows XP Professional?
Hello
I wonder if there is another way to activate my genuine copy of Windows XP Professional, because when I try to activate via the activate Windows
Assistant, all I get is a message saying that the 'online activation could not be completed at this time. "
Its weird because this is the first time I met this kind of problem after format and do a clean install of Windows XP in which, incidentally, I do
every year since 2006. (This is to keep my computer and working properly).
And also, if I tried to validate my copy of Windows XP by using Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer 8, but I keep getting "Validation failed".
Any ideas what could possibly cause this? coz I already formatted my computer three times since yesterday in the hope that it could solve the problem, but with no luck.
I hope someone could help me with this.
Thank you and happy holidays to all.
See you soon!
Hello
Please help us, but it seems to be a problem with the end of Microsoft after all. Perhaps, they were low maintenance, when I tried to activate my Windows XP Pro yesterday.
In any case, my Windows XP Pro is now enabled.
Thank you and happy holidays!
See you soon!

Need a copy of Windows XP Professional
I just bought a laptop computer recycling and hard drive is wiped clean there is no operating system. The gentleman told me that they don't not install opperating systems, however the CD key is at the bottom of the laptop. Is there a way I can get a copy of Windows XP Professional? It's the OS that was on it. I can burn it to a cd if necessary, I just need to find it. Can anyone help?
You must not only find Windows XP Professional-, but a version of OEM Windows XP Professional, or you can google to find out how to edit the setupp.ini and create a new CD.
Beg/borrow from a friend or acquaintance of the nice information technology a copy of the CD. I wouldn't trust to a lot of places where you might find online.

Copy genuine windows 7 shows now not authentic.
I have a genuine copy of Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop.

So, I then tried to use the link "Contact us" on the microsoft Web site. Since he thinks that I don't have a genuine copy of windows 7, he wants me to pay £46 just to have someone to email, err jog on.
So I now find myself here ask for help in how I can solve this problem.
Please please please help me before I end up breaking this laptop and spend a fortune on a Mac.

As long as this is the same computer, you should be able to perform a clean installation and reactivate using the same product key.
