Hello Jack yes mate I have messaged him with this https://social.microsoft.com/Forums/...ypes-explained and other stuff that clearly states that the sticker is required. I also said I shall be contacting Microsoft and get it from the horses mouth so to speak.
The 8 sticker is on my machine and what he doesn't get is that all versions prior to 8 require a COA sticker - I read a fair bit about it last night.
My gripe is that I paid $135 for a 7 Pro 64bit version that turned out to be the old original 7600 build - no SP1 which took me six hours to work out because it wouldn't download updates eventually found that out via an error code. So he obviously is selling 7 install options that are well out of date.
So it will be interesting to see what Microsoft have to say and for that matter EBay which he sells through and I usually advise against anyone buying such stuff through that site but the machines were again obviously superseded ones he is selling at a discounted rate and include really good specs ie full HD res and i7 core and dedicated GTX 860M GPU (Asus G759JM) making this machine a 2013 / early 2014 model.
