Solved Trouble re-activating rebuilt

[William Lyders]

Some History:

1. Original Desktop setup [April 2005]: CofA= Windows OEM XP Home Edition,
with Service Pack 2
2. Upgraded [May 2011] to: Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit, using CD media
purchased. Added video card with marginal performnce success.
3. Rebuilt computer [May 2012]: with new mother board and SSD boot drive
4. Loaded Windows 7 Home Premium, using same upgrade media, this time with 64-bit
CD, without entering Product Key
5. System Auto-Up-Dated, now includes Service Pack 1

What I'm trying to do, so far without success, is:
Re-activate Windows 7, which is installed [30 day period] and up-dated, but appears to have these stubborn obstacles:

a. System has been rebuilt, which has eliminated the original CofA Win XP OEM historic
connection on the boot drive [or any place else]
b. System has been auto-up-dated to include Service Pack 1
c. Have only a Win7 "up-grade" CD to use
d. I get code 0xC004F061 response, when I try using the Windows Activation wizard
e. Have called Microsoft help six times [1 800 936 5700] and have been cut off each time at various stages of the computer driven process

Any suggestions on how to proceed to get Microsoft OK?

I suspect this is not the first time this thread has been started, but I haven't found a related solution in the history

Regarding step 2 in your list---is this Win 7 Home Premium 32-bit disk OEM or retail? Were you able to successfully activate it in May 2011?

As I understand it, you changed motherboards after that--in May 2012?

 

[William Lyders]

The original Win7 32-bit upgrade went OK on the original OEM computer setup, and was activated. Win7 on this old XP system, however, was only marginally acceptable -- thus the major system overhaul

 

[William Lyders]

The update was a retail CD, with both 32-bit and 64-bit disks included

The Key in use here is the Default Key for Windows - which cannot be activated.
Try using telehone activation, and explain your predicament to the operator - they *may* issue you an override code to activate

Otherwise, your only real option is to start again, and this time use the double-install method to get the Key inplace before you start updating. (you may be able to avoid activation until later)

telephone activation (operator calls)
Click on the Start button
in the Search box, type
SLUI 4
and hit the Enter key
follow the instructions - but when asked which service you require by the telephone ansafone, do NOT reply - this should force an operator to respond, who can deal with you

 

[William Lyders]

Thanks Noel

I hope the " do NOT reply - this should force an operator to respond" will get me a live body, probably in India

 

[NoelDP]

Almost certainly - if you have problems understanding them, ask to be trasferrred to a supervisor, and with any luck it will come back to 'home territory' wherever that is.

 

[William Lyders]

Noel,
The double-install method was successful, after much playing around and false starts.
The much welcome "Windows is Activated" notice is finally there.
Thanks again for your quick and timely response.
Now on to my next project: Moving the Users and ProgramData folders off the SSD boot drive, which I think maybe I was having trouble with because Win7 was not activated. I am trying to follow Kari's procedure.
Bill

 

[NoelDP]

Good Luck! ( I rarely attempt to move anything out of the C:\ drive except for the User Libraries - there are still a number of programs that have too much else hard-coded, for my tastes)

Good tutorial here, which explains how to move your user folders: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/18629-user-folders-change-default-location.html
