Validation Windows 7 key entry procedures

I am getting an error on my Win 7 machine telling me that my copy of Windows 7 is not Geniuine!

I have Win 7 Home Premium and received the message after I deleted the 2 suspicious files (Kept asking to run CMD. EXE file as a new departure program, which only would not stop when denied access by me) 2 days ago from my Windows System 32 directory (dumb move). This occurred just after a Microsoft Update file has been installed the day before. I tried to restore these files from the "trash, but they will not reinstall."

The next day all these validation problems. At first there was a screen to enter my key, but that disappeared when I turned the machine on its side to copy information from the sticker. Once connected, my screen is black, no wallpaper, with a screen with the message saying of bottom right corner "your copy of Windows is invalid.

The message is now gone. I ran diagnostic tool for Win and the result was an error of 50 with the screen showing a different key number on my machine. I bought this new computer and have no changes except the Microsoft updates. This is the Windows that has been previously installed when I bought from Best Buy a couple of years. I love my Windows 7 but have the upgrade to Win option already pending. I can try to reformat and reinstall the first if I can't find a way to check.

I tried to find a way to enter the right key which is on the label on my computer, but can't.  All the links takes me in circles.

Do you have any suggestions on how to enter my correct key? What I have to call Microsoft or hope to find a good link to do this.

Thanks for any help.

  • Satellite C50-A-1DV - impossible to Win10 - windows serial key is not valid

    I'd appreciate any help at all!

    I am trying to upgrade to windows 10. I won my windows product key (authentic, same windows installed when bought new by Argos) via the CMD prompt: wmic path softwarelicensingservice is OA3xOriginalProductKey and the 10 windows update tells me that the serial number is incorrect / not valid (I type the code correctly in the update).

    I try to install fresh ISO, all other methods have failed. I believe that this is due to the verification of product key.

    What is going on?

    Please read this thread:

    Your laptop has been preisntalled already active Toshiba image container system.
    You must perform the upgrade (not a clean install) to get 10 Win.

    Also, Toshiba does not provide the serial key to activate the systems becase the system is activated automatically conneting the laptop to the internet.

  • I have a valid license for Windows XP key code, so why the system tells me it is not currently active or real?

    Windows has no

    I had to spend my PC this morning. Moving it, I decided to implement a new network card.

The computer is more than 7 years old and I've never had a problem with the front Windows Validation. I have a valid license for Windows XP key code, so why the system tells me it is not currently active or real?

    When Windows checks to see if you have moved your copy of Windows to "another computer", among other things, that his focus on the identification of several strands of material in the computer to see if they are different than when Windows was first installed.  I do not remember the list for now, but I remember that the network card is one of the pieces - and IIRC it is 'valuable' higher than others to reach the conclusion.

    You probably other elements has changed over the past seven years and now Windows has decided to have a "new" computer  Assuming that you haven't changed the motherboard - if you had, you would have had this issue at the time wherever you did--your installation is still legal.  Reactivate using your original license key. It should work online, but you will need to call the number that appears in the error message from re - validate.

  • My windows product key is not valid.

    Hello

    My windows product key is not valid. It shows that I don't ' have a genuine windows, and so I entered the product key to activate

    and its not to validate. It was workiing before, just do not know what happened.

    Help, please.

    Thank you!

    I wanted to tell the name of version (e.g. Windows 7 Home Premium) printed on the sticker.  Is the version currently installed on the PC of the same version?  Check in Control Panel > system page.  The number is the ID of the product that is not supposed to be the same as the key.

    If the versions are identical, then the problem is a bad character entered, almost always.

    If the product key is readable, then you can certainly use it to Clean install Windows Upgrade 10. Look over the steps and ask in return if you have any questions.

    Questions of OEM Windows 7 key

    I have a question: if I use an OEM of Windows 7 key from a pc by the same company that makes mine (ASUS for example), it will be valid? Note that my PC doesn't have the mobo it is changed or upgraded. I ask because a friend gave me a key which it has been used on another computer (same System Builder) saying that it will improve the Windows 8 operating system, and it will no more need. I really don't want to have any nagging restriction because my copy has been hacked, upgrade in Greece, costs 100 euros.

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  • HP Envy 14 LR198AV: HP sold me PC with no valid Windows 7 or at least an invalid Windows product key and product ID

    I bought this PC in July 2011 and it is out of warranty.  After that of being harassed at level to Windows 10 months I decided to do it, but rather than the upgrade, I did a clean install from the laptop was malfunctioning.  I read on the Microsoft site that we could do it as long as they have Windows product key for Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 that was already installed on the machine.  I wrote that down with the Windows ID (different number).

    I've updated by downloading Windows 10 to a USB key and then the installation.  Seemed to work very well (I think that I entered my product in the process ID).  Now, a few weeks later I get a message that I need to "activate windows".  I called MIcrosoft after it could not activate using the ID that I and after 30 minutes on the phone they me said my Windows product ID and both are my "invalid" Windows product key  I would call HP and get this sorted - I have the original order number and Microsoft said that's all I need for HP to help me - but I am out of warranty and apparently help me unless I pay them $60.  Another alternative is to buy a new copy of Windows 10 and pay MIcrosoft money.

    I am shocked, because I'm simply doing what Microsoft has been harassment to me.

    BTW, the PC seems to work fine except the message to activate windows.  I guess that another option is to do nothing.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Available for the free upgrade until the end of July 2016, according to the latest rules from Microsoft Windows 10. Thus, you will be able to spend to Win 10 If you want. I'm not a fan of win 10, but if you want to upgrade to it I personally recommend the ISO for Win 7 upgrade method to win 10-

    # Download the ISO from MS site, burn it to a DVD, insert the DVD into the PC and start the process from inside Windows 7

    # Follow the on-screen instructions then

    Legitemately bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 laptop, but there is not a valid Windows XP Professional installed. I have the original product key.

    Can I download this, free preference?

    How have you noticed that an invalid Windows XP installed?

    Usually if you reinstall your laptop with Toshiba recovery disk it s a copy valid XP is already activated and there is nothing to do.

    I read a few threads about similar problems with the BONE key and the key change has always helped
    Sometimes, Microsoft rates the key of the image as incorrect or not valid. Why? I don't know... it's Microsoft you know ;)

    Fact is that the key on the cover of the CD can only be used to activate the software Microsoft Works or OneNote installed on the laptop. The key is not responsible for the Windows operating system.
    The key that could be used with the Win operating system is placed at the bottom of the unit.

    Well, according to your message you used this key and now I m a bit confused
    I think you should make a call to the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country to clear this problem

    the keys will be always active or valid (which is the correct term) as long as they are not used before...

    with respect to the Auditor, there is none of these tools to do this, you can contact customer service and have them check the keys if they are valid or not
