Solved Who can I contact if my legal Windows 7 key is blocked from activation

[SIW2]

You could back up the activation , in case you ever need to reinstall SEE HERE

 

[JMCLAY]

Hi SIW2,


Thanks again. I've downloaded the zip file & will run it tomorrow, when I'm feeling a bit stronger.


The more I get involved with windows, the more confused I get; I've been keeping been keeping a diary of everything I've tried and changed in the last 10 days, so that I can edit what actually worked. It may seem a bit childish to you, but in most cases I've never met the problems and solutions before in my life!


Oh for the good old days of Windows 98, which I only stopped using because Finale / MakeMusic would no long run.


Onwards and inwards.


Jim

 

[SIW2]

Oh for the good old days

 

[JMCLAY]

So, I'll go off-line & see how long my activation lasts for. Thanks for all the help!


Bye from sunny (for once!) Ireland

 

[NoelDP]

If you want to check your activation, run another MGADiag report, and post it - the last one indicated that you still had 30 days to go in the grace period, so you won't get shouted at for another couple of weeks, yet

 

[JMCLAY]

Hi Noel,


The new MGSDIAG doesn't refer to the days left in a grace period, so I'll stop at that and wait 31.


Thanks


Jim

Hi Noel,

I will look forward to hearing you say that the problem has gone away! It is probable that I did something stupid like a typo when I tried to enter the COA label data during the Windows Repair. I think I'll take to the Repair Man next time.

Thanks

Jim

 

[NoelDP]

That all looks fine now - you shouldn't have any more problems.


Good Luck!

 

[JMCLAY]

Hi Noel & others,


Thanks for all the help in identifying and resolving this problem. I just need to find $150 and buy a copy of Windows 10 . . .


Regards


Jim

 

[NoelDP]

No you don't - just go to MS and download the Win 10 ISO.
Use your Windows 7 Key for access. (the one in the report now)

 

[JMCLAY]

Noel,


You're full of surprises. The Microsoft "Man" on the phone told me I'd have to pay full price even though I was asking if I could upgrade from an existing legal copy of Windows 7.


I dare say it might be wise to upgrade, although I had just got reasonably familiar with Windows 7. (I'm always a decade behind).


It does seem a pity to abandon a system that is now working quite well. Maybe i should just unplug the internet connection and use it stand-alone, with an HP laptop on Win 10 which I have learned to hate.


But this is getting beyond the original reason for the thread.


Thanks


Jim

 

[NoelDP]

The upgrade isn't exactly 'approved' - but MS made that particular bed, so they can lie in it, as far as I'm concerned!


Whatever you decide, Have Fun!
