Hi!
If your key was ok before that upgrade attempt, then it should still be ok now.
There are tools, which can read out and show you your product key. Showkey is one of them:
Showkey - Windows 10 Forums
Another tool I know of is called Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder.
I think with these tools you should be able to read out the product key.
Anyway, didn't Windows 7 still come with a printed label with the key on it attached to the PC?
I tried key that i ProdyKey found. But it says errorcode 0xC004E003 So already used ? Like i cant even see that windows 10 update thing anywhere anymore. I just wanted try it but now i have pirated windows 7 ultimate, and cant update to windows
Hi!

Call Microsoft to activated your "legal" Windows 7 again.
You got some numbers fast or do i go googlethanks for help man!
sounds like the guy you bought the computer had installed a pirated copy of win7 ,way I see it your only option is to buy a legit copy of windows ,be it 7 or 8, or even 10 ,,but I think its the only option you got , good luck.
its been documented that with win10 Microsoft is going to do its best to kill pirate software on a upgraded computer,
But It was normal like 2 years, whenever i ever bought this. im not sure what means that i have text This copy of windows is not genuine on the right. Not sure if that means pirated thoBut this happened after windows 10 failed
re-install your Windows 7 OS (restore a backup , you DID do a full OS backup didn't you?) and then re-do the Windows 10 upgrade.
Use showkey and write down the Windows 7 key.
It's the only way to make it work again according to MS Support.
But if that says i cant even activate it. that means even tho i reinstall it that wont work either. ?
