Clean Install W7 Pro 64Bit Lenovo Locked Out
Hi All,
Have been fighting an issue with Windows Update not doing so with an error of 80070643 and no matter what I've tried it still won't update. I tried the install from the partition but still no update. So, since I don't have the OEM recovery disc and rather than keep wasting any more of my time I just want to do a clean install. I get a copy of the ISO and start an install and all seems to go well to the end when I get an error and the system reverts back to where I started. A call to MS says the system is locked out by the OEM (Lenovo) who I call for assistance. They of course want their greedy share and offer the reinstallation disc for $57. I have the CD Key so surely there's a way to unlock this thing.
Not a noob but getting a little feeble of the brain I think.
