Windows 7: windows 7 build 7601 not genuine after VRTool:win32/Vbinder.CO

Hi John,



For future reference, you can do a full install with a retail disc

Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version

It's worth a try sending it to MS, even if they won't give you a free license, they may discount it for you.

Hi Tom/Noel

Good advise from both of you and much appreciated. Just checked Amazon are doing full retail box for £164 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Wi.../dp/B001XCWGII) don't know if I am aload to insert a link?

I will go down Tom's route and send the discs off to MS saying I will be looking to purchase genuine software and see if they offer me anything.

If not I will take Noels advise and buy a copy of the shelf as they say.

I have some time left before they sort of cut me off.

I know where to come if I have problems in the future.

Many thanks for your help and support.

John.

Hi John,

Don't worry, you're allowed to insert links Well, assuming they aren't explicit or malicious - Amazon being neither of these!

Yeah, you've got nothing to lose by sending them the discs. The worst that will happen is they don't offer you a discount so it's definitely worth a try.

You're most welcome for the help, although it probably wasn't the outcome you were hoping for! Let us know how it goes

Tha Amazon link you posted is fine - it's coming direct from Amazon, and not through the MarketPlace.

The price is probably the best I've seen in the UK (especially with the shipping included).

Be aware that getting through the Get Genuine process can take 4-6 weeks, so don't hold your breath! Having said that, it's often less than a week from your specimen arriving in Dublin.
