Hi to all members, this is my first posting & am average PC know how user so am not up with all technical terms !
My laptop is approximately 5-6yr. old ( HP Pavillion dv6 - 1215ax, 4gb ram, 175gb hd ) original came with os Vista Home Premium already installed . Twelve months after purchasing I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x 64bit & have been using this os for the past 4yrs , formatting approximately every year & reinstalling using the same activation code, no problems until now. After reinstalling 7Ultimate an error ( bottom right hand corner of monitor ) indicating the os was an illegal copy ? I contacted Microsoft who advised me to purchase a legal copy & code !
Firstly why after 4-5yrs using the same rego code is this possible, & secondly being an aged pensioner why should I have to purchase another os code etc. to replace what has been working for a number of years ?
Any advice or suggestions would be most appreciated,
