    Laptop manufacturer Windows 7 product key not working!!!!


    Hi,
    I recently purchased an Acer Aspire 5532 from a friend and it came with elementary OS.

    The manufacturer sticker on the back has a Windows 7 Home Premium key but it's not working. I tried to download Windows 7 Home Premium ISO from Microsoft website and it asks for the product key but every time I put the key in, it gives me an error saying I should contact my manufacturer for recovery options.

    I checked with Acer and the laptop has no extended warranty.

    What should I do? I am downloading an ISO from somewhere else, you think the key would work if I install windows on the laptop?

    Hi Cruel,
    MS does not support OEM versions,
    download the iso from here,

    https://software-download.microsoft....a2239544207005

    VALID FOR 24 HRS ONLY


    SKIP the product key on install, as it may self activate.
    (can be entered later via control panel >> system >> change product key)

Error indicates Windows is not genuine. Believed to be the original OS (but checking on that to confirm). Microsoft wants $149 contract to resolve the problem and guarantees they can fix it. (Can they really?) HP wants $49 and to lock into a monthly contract for a year. Maybe they can fix it. ...
