  • [HELP] Download Windows 7 Ultimate free > no product key

    I recently downloaded a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate edition of a Web site that my friend got it, and it worked on his computer and hes a very trustworthy guy while I lived with her. Later that night, he finished downloading and I was surpised by the looks and when he asked me a key I tried a. None of those that I searched for work and I knew it might be a test, so I tried some keys to the trial and they all failed. And now I can't use my computer because whenever I have system restore will return to the series key position and it is still windows 7. Also, I can't download windows vista edition Home premium on my computer because I have no CD installation also because it came with my computer... So if there is a way around this or return to its original state until I downloaded it please help, I don't want to lose all the things that I had on there because some of them were really important. Thank you

  • Windows 7 Ultimate 64 k product key not valid after more than a year of use

    Initially, I bought a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 upgrade as a student version. My computer originally had Windows 98. ten years later my hard drive died, and I learned that you cannot reinstall a version upgrade. (beware of the free windows 10 UPGRADE). I bought a product key of the online Microsoft Store over one year in January of 2015. I have finally is broken down and bought the key because I was advised if I never had to do a Setup again that buying a key meant I could without any other expenditure. It seems to work fine until I recently got a message saying that my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 is not valid. I called the Microsoft store and they claimed to have no trace that I already bought the product key from their part. After a few unsuccessful attempts to locate the original mail, finally, I scored. I received an email from a Laura McBride in the Microsoft Online store, with a product key and a link to a file in Dropbox. So I tried to do a repair and reinstall by using the information in the email. The Dropbox file will not download to my Dropbox, it said its too big. It will not download to my computer as it says that the .zip is too large. I'm reaching here. What can I do next?

    No third party or Microsoft Partner are allowed to sell product keys.

  • Reinstallation of Windows 7 Ultimate edition, suddenly product key not valid?

    After 5 years of use, I started having trouble with my system. Microsoft Office gave errors and Windows 7 has been hard too long to start upward or too long to close. I decided to do a new reinstall of Windows 7 Ultimate. I bought the version I have in my University just now and everything was going well on the first re-setup, until I tried to install Microsoft Office only to watch him hang at start installation for far too long. After trying to solve the problems, I thought it would be better update of Windows 7 in total, well, Windows Update installation suspended installation and start-up. So I figured a reboot would help and unfortunately the o/s started showing the same symptoms he had before as I wiped the drive clean. I erased the disc again and tried a new installation, but this time all of a sudden, my product key was invalid. Again, it is a purchase copy, should I call Microsoft?

    As a reminder, I have no o/s on the system other than the installation just run by the disc, now it is stuck on the main screen product because he accepts it.

    You should be able to install without a key and start the 30-day grace period.

    This would then allow to enter the key after installation. However if that dialogue initial report, the key is invalid what you type does them not. At this point, there is no that verify that the key is correctly encrypted is the right key for the version of Windows that you are installing, it does not check with Microsoft for the key abused later, may not have a network connection.

    Make sure that the characters are correct

    B C D F G H J K M P Q R T V W X Y 2 3 4 6 7 8 9

    Some ambiguous characters do not serve but B and 8 can be confused because of the size and the tail of the Q is so small it looks like O which is not actually used

    Is it an upgrade license?

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    There was a free upgrade offer, but it expired a long time ago:

    "The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program works on June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option. »
