when you reinstalled windows 7 I assume you did not enter a product key.....I thought it would work for a while, then keep nagging for activation.....that's what I assume should happen.....it's a pity you didn't extract the product key using one of the key grabber software first.....but too late now......don't suppose the windows sticker was put on the underside of the machine....don't know what to suggest now.....without an activated windows 7 you will not be able to upgrade to 10 .....just wondered if the windows 7 product key is still buried in your machine somewhere....enchanted key finder or magical jellybean may come up with your key, then you can go to computer properties and at the bottom enter your product key.......just hope I haven't violated the forum rules
just to be certain you are still working with windows 7 ???
