Windows 7 won't let me have a wallpaper

acelegacy · 06 Oct 2016

So, I had a wallpaper that I really liked but one day windows upgraded to windows 10 by itself and when I downgraded back to windows 7 it said my windows was pirated (I bought this PC off of someone else). Now every time I turn on my PC it says I have to activate windows 7 (type in a product key or buy one online) and anytime this message shows up again while I'm using my PC my wallpaper turns into black. Is there a way to get around this? I really wanted to keep my wallpaper. I thought of buying an activation key but it seems Microsoft doesn't sell them anymore... How do I fix this?

Last I saw Newegg.com still has some win-7 pro 64 bit dvd and keys
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit - Operating Systems - Newegg.com

Might not help you in Brazil though

Yeah, being in Brazil doesn't help. It would cost R$ 450 for me to get a product key.... I'd rather have no wallpaper. But thanks anyway

If this is the ONLY way, I won't bother with this anymore :/

acelegacy you will have many problems with Windows 7 until you get a proper media and a matching proper COA key so you can properly activate Windows 7.

When the above is completed and a proper

is posted by you we will be glad to give as much help as we can.

We do not help with counterfeit operating systems or programs; as per the rule of the forum.

4) No piracy or discussion of piracy allowed at all. Such as software, music, videos and other intellectual property violations (e.g. downloading youtube videos locally etc).

I hope this will help you understand.

Please note:
All legal COA keys come with the proper media. You can not buy a legal COA key all by itself. One must be very careful where Windows 7 is bought from.
Their are boat loads of crooks selling counterfeit Windows 7.
