I had gotten a close friend to upgrade it with a Windows 7 Professional CD he bought straight from Microsoft. I do not know if he had entered the CD key or not. | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Professional x64

If your "friend" had used the key before, it can't be re-used until the first install is not active. even though you had a Vista key, you still need your own Windows 7 Pro key

If he used it to activate his computer, you will have to get your own.

If you don't use a Key that you purchased, not the one your friend is using on his PC, then indeed your version is not genuine just as Windows is saying. At some point it will stop working. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Build
