[KAAMO]

Hi guys. I am trying to change the product key for my windows 7 PC however when i click on the option to do so under computer> properties I am getting the error "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file". Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Thankyou

Hello Kaamo,

Make sure you are following the steps correctly: Update your Windows product key - Windows Help

Are you trying to change the product key while on an administrator account or not?

Thank you,

Are you trying to do it while on an administrator account or a standard user?

Admin account. Its the only account on the PC.
