Hello everyone.
Currently, I'm in a mix between whether or not a Windows 7 Professional "Retail" copy is real.
Here's the link: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 32 64 Bit Retail Version DVDs Product Key | eBay
Now onto the problem...
After 5 days for the installation media to arrive in the mail, I noticed that not only had Windows 7 came inside a transparent case (it wasn't even curved at the tip) the DVDs had stickers on them, which I could peel. Obviously, this would be the point that the scammed buyer would order a refund from the seller. However, the listing had approx. 163 of them sold, before and after I bought it, with 98% good reviews.
Interested, I went to scan both discs for any malware/trojans/rootkits using Avast, but nothing came up.
Curious, I went to Software Download to put in the key, and I got a genetic error message, saying it couldn't validate the key.
This is where VirtualBox came into play.
First, I went through the usual activation process (over the internet, during and after installation) and it states the activation was successful. Thinking it might be a MSDN key, I ventured to look for an alternative "second opinion".
See, here (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...-to-tell/11f0b702-1787-4151-9c52-bc24dfe15544)
is where I found a website (http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/) that allowed me to determine whether or not the key was indeed genuine. It also included clues to see if it was a MSDN key as well.
Since both processes worked, and I still have the fake discs (which work as well), what should be my next action? Should I go get a refund from the aforementioned buyer on eBay (return), or should I move on to dual-booting my day-to-day laptop (my next question)?
Here's the MGA Diagnostic Result:
(Excuse for the wrong time, I was testing someting out before with the period a MSDN key expires.)
