    Hi, I recently had a new hard disk installed together with windows 7, which was carried out by a local IT Professional not previously known to me. When I tried contacting microsoft support and entered the product id I received a message saying this was not supported in the country selected. Please could you confirm if this product is genuine? I am in the UK. I believe this also what is known as a keyless install which needs to be activated within 30 days.  Many thanks.

    Here is the windows genuine advantage diagnostic tool for the product.

    Many thanks Noel. This guy has been practicing for around 10 years and advertises extensively locally.  I have been in contact and he is due to come back on Monday and activate the software. I am not sure how he intends to do it, but I did pay him for the new disc (which seems to be OK) and the software. I am guessing however there may not much support available if anything does wrong in the future. I was also looking on Amazon so thank you for that advice.
     
    Amazon itself is OK – it’s only the companies in the MarketPlace that cause problems.
    You can try changing the Key to the one that came with your disks (note the plural!) – use the Change Product Key link at the bottom of the System properties page. You may have to activate by phone.
     
    He probably used a Retail disk for the install, but provided you with an Upgrade license – if that’s the case you’ll/he’ll have to do an Inplace Upgrade install  using the proper Key before the grace period expires in two weeks time. That means that you’ll keep your current apps and data, but lose installed updates. (It’s a good idea to revert back to the original IE before doing so,  if you’ve upgraded that since the install – prevents problems later)

    Here is the windows genuine advantage diagnostic tool for the product.

    The Key in use here is the Default Key – which can never be activated (it’s installed by the OS itself when no Key is entered during installation)
    You need to enter a valid paid-for Win 7 Home Premium Product Key, or revert back to the OS which came with your computer – probably Vista – using the manufacturer’s Recovery media (order from their website).
     
    The IT guy should NOT have installed this copy except by request (so that you could input your own Key later) – especially if you paid for his services in anything other than beer :)
     
    If you don’t have a Win7 Product Key, don’t be tempted to purchase from somewhere like eBay or the Amazon MarketPlace – most copies there are counterfeit, and will be revealed as such sooner or later. Dabs.com and scan.co.uk both give decent discounts on Windows, and they are reputable :)  (one of these days I’ll have to see if I can screw them for commission, I recommend them that much!)
    You will need a Retail copy – the OEM versions are not really suitable for end-users – but if you’re prepared to mess around a bit you can use an Upgrade, rather than a Full license.
