Solved ProduKey Windows Key, Wrong Version of Windows?

[Jgwman]

Hello, I just used ProduKey to get a Windows 7 Home Premium Key off of a hard drive with a corrupt OS. However, when I try to activate Windows with this key, it tells me that it is a key for the wrong version of Windows. I installed W7 Home Premium, 64x, and updated to SP1. The ProduKey key says that it is for W7 Home Premium, SP1. I don't know why the key is not working. Could the bit version matter? ProduKey doesn't tell me the bit version. Thanks in advance.

The produKey software shows the OEM SLP key that is the key OEMs use to image the pcs . You would need to use the COA key which is found under the battery or on the bottom of the laptop .

Hi, actually this PC came with Vista OEM. The Vista code is on the bottom of the computer. However Windows 7 was added by the previous owner. ProduKey gave me the W7 key while the sticker has the Vista key. I wanted to reinstall 7, and I know this W7 key is not OEM. Any more ideas?

If you still have the hard drive, you can use Belarc Advisor or Speccy.

VistaKing:Hopefully it shows the right key, instead of a blank.

Sardonicus:Yeah, I should have used Speccy in the first place, but now the drive has been formatted. Thanks, though.

That key doesn't appear to be the right one...

Probably the default key since it didn't accept your key you were trying to put in.

 

[VistaKing]

Try activating by phone

Open the run window

Press rb: and the R keys on your keyboard . Inside the run window input

Slui.exe 4 and press [ENTER]

 

[Jgwman]

Alright, I will. Does that require talking to someone or just an automated thing? Also, is there a generic Windows 7 ISO (no associated version) I could try reinstalling with if neccessary?

 

[VistaKing]

Its automated I believe .

Take a look at this link below

:ar: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html

 

[SIW2]

Did you try installing 7 HP using an iso with SP1 already integrated?

 

[Jgwman]

VistaKing:I'll look at the link.
SIW2:No, do you think that would fix it?

 

[SIW2]

Yes, that is why I suggested it.

You can d/l from the link in the tutorial posted earlier.


latest official Win7 installer ISO with SP1 and Media Refresh

 

[Jgwman]

Would it matter if this Windows 7 key was an upgrade from Vista?

 

[derekimo]

Would it matter if this Windows 7 key was an upgrade from Vista?

You can try the workaround in this tutorial,

[Jgwman]

Thanks, I'll take a look.

 

[Jgwman]

Thanks, everybody. I'm gonna reinstall with SP1 integrated and turn off automatic authorization, then try that work around. I'll probably post back tomorrow with my results.

 

[Jgwman]

Re-installing didn't work, but I tried to activate by phone and that did work. Thanks for everyone's help.

 

[VistaKing]

Glad you fixed your issue .
