Win7 professional 32 bit clean install

Hi,

If the windows installation is genuine as you say it is, then contact Microsoft support and get them to check the licence key, they may be able to issue you with a new one. :bugeye:

Alternatively, there is a seller on Amazon where you can purchase a licence key for £25.

That will save your installation and avoid having to download and install all the updates. :(

Microsoft will just say 'no longer supported.

AdeV:
As your installations are licensed and legal - I'd suggest something I'd never normally recommend: Use a "dodgy" activator. Dazloader is probably the best. I've used it a few times when faffing about with virtual machines that need to be activated, the hardest part is getting Windows to not recognise it as a virus...

Arnak:
Hi,

I am not so sure that Microsoft will say no, longer supported when it comes to licence issues as you can still buy new W7 installations.

From the Microsoft website, "Windows 7 can still be installed and activated after end of support."

So believe that licence issues can still be resolved, give them a ring as it can't hurt and may solve your problem.

If not a google search on Windows 7 not genuine will find some workarounds that may be worth trying.

Andrew,

I am not very window savy, but, I have a Widows seven that is a legal copy, that is installed on my dual boot Windows Linux machine. This is a recent installation, last month, I was able to upgrade to the most recent service pack, automatically, despite having received the Microsoft no longer supported message! I didn't need need to enter the registration code! I hope this is helpful, I know you know Windows 7 far better than Ido!

Cheers Matthew.
