Ok., I have windows 7, I had a hard drive physical problem, so cloned my drive onto another larger faster drive. It is activated, but I get the message, this is not a varified microsoft product! Obviously it is. Can this be resolved in any way without having to purchase again?
Activate by phone, that should take care of it.
Also, this is a Windows 10 forums, you should post Windows 7 questions in the Windows 7 forum (sevenforums.com).Activate using the telephone
- Open Windows Activation by clicking the Start button , right-clicking Computer, clicking Properties, and then clicking Activate Windows now. ...
- Click Show me other ways to activate.
- Type your Windows 7 product key, and then click Next.
- Click Use the automated phone system.
It is a windows 10 problem as I wish to upgrade and doubt if I can. The label on the bottom of my laptop is worn and I cannot read the numbers to re-register!
Is is also activated, but I still get a message, not validated!
