The installed Key is the Default Key - and can never be activated.
You need to change the Key to the one on your COA sticker - if the machine has one.
The BIOS is dated Jan 2013 - so I'd be surprised if it has a Windows7 COA sticker at all. Is there a Windows 8 Sticker on there instead?

yes there is a sticker... it says here that its OEM software... and it should be activated within SEA...
however when im changing the product key all i get is invalid.

any help?

definitly the install key is NOT the product key. it was there by default i guess...

Does the Sticker state 'Windows 7 Home Basic OA' - or something else?

If it's as above, and you use the link in the Properties page to change the Key, at what point are you told the Key is not valid - is there an error code?

0xC004F050usually means that you've misread a character - either C/G/6 or B/8 or Y/V are the most common, an O/0 is almost always a Q

Note that thefollowing characters cannot be used - AE I L N O S U Z 1 0 - so don't bother trying unless you like the noiseit makes
