Windows 7 non-genuine

[Elliott564]

PLEASE HELP! About one week ago my computer got an update and when i restarted my pc to finish the update i signed on to a watermark in the corner of my desktop, a lot of pop ups about non genuine windows, and a black desktop.

i can't activate windows 7 though because when i bought my laptop from best-buy they didn't provide me with any product key and windows 7 was already installed on my acer aspire! i really don't wanna pay $105 to get a new windows 7 disk so i can go and reinstall windows! is there anything i can do????

plz help

Your key number should be on a sticker on the bottom of your laptop. See if that sticker is there.

Download the MS diagnostics tool.

Run the tool, then click on the "Copy" button at the bottom, paste to notepad and upload the file with your next post.

When you get your key number, write on paper and scotch tape it to the bottom of your laptop.

You are using a KNOWN Product Key that is posted all over the internet. Your copy of Windows 7 is illegal. I would take your laptop back to Best Buy and demand to talk to a manager.

Here is the full key you are using: VQB3X-Q3KP8-removed by admin

Take it to Best Buy tell them what happened. One of their techs may be up to no good.

OR

If you know yours is illegal due to other reasons you can purchase from Microsoft as the option will be given to you when you try to activate.

Just a couple of things.

1) That key is a known key only because it is the Acer OEM SLP key for win7 home premium. Nothing sinister about that. Every legit OEM Acer machine that came with home premium installed will have that key.

2) Now, I suspect it is not Best Buy which is upto any tricks but rather the OP for the following reasons:

--It is completely unbelievable that best Buy or any other established retailer would yank off the COA sticker. More likely, this machine came with Vista preinstalled, hence no valid win7 COA key exists for it.

--from the mgadiag text posted above, I noticed that bios details (manufacturer, version, date) are missing. Since they are normally present in mgadiag reports, no reason why they shouldnt be there in this case too.

--Theres one more interesting data there but I'll refrain from going into that since its dangerous territory.

Hey! We have been nice. You obviously have an illegal copy of Windows 7 and we have tried to help you. If you really have been burned by Best Buy go to them and they will fix it. If you have cheated Microsoft then we have no pity for you. Become legal.
