From Pirated to Genuine

Hi. I have a cracked windows 7 ultimate 64bit but I want to be a genuine user, so Im planning to buy product key from ebay, Do i need to reinstall a new OS? or I can just change the product key from the settings? Thanks in advance🙂

HI Kurohoshi00

You can input your purchased key via

Control panel >> system >> click on -- change product key

No re-install required

Be advised that even your new key coud be non-genuine,
once input suggest you run this tool, copy/paste the output, i'll cast an eye over it

I see, Thank you for all your help. I thought that I could get a genuine key on ebay for a cheap price. but I guess there is always a threat on getting a pirated key

Thank you so much, I'll try it.

Yes, I'm sure you will. You're in the Philippines. Isn't that a year's wages?

I'd recommend, since you used a pirated version to check the ISO's SHA1 hash against the MSDN ISO (find the name/hash yourself), because it could be modified for the worse and have secret backdoors, you never know :P

OFFTOPIC: lol surprised this wasn't closed immediately
