You have a KMS product key. Contact your network administrator for KMS guidance.
Windows Product ID Type: 1Windows License Type: KMS ClientPlease use slmgr.vbs /ato to activate and update KMS client information in order to update values.
See http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/existing-customers/product-activation-faq.aspx
If you are not authorized on a KMS server then you need to purchase a copy of Windows 7 or restore the original Windows that came with your comuter.

I am no longer authorized on a KMS server. If I purchase a copy of Windows 7 will I be able to just enter the key, or will I need to reload my machine? Thanks for your help.Wednesday, June 29, 2011 5:50 PM

Try just changing the product key. That does work in curing counterfeit retail products and should work for you provided you buy a full license copy of Windows 7 Professional (because that is what you have installed). I suggest purchasing from the Microsoft Store, Amazon (NOT the Amazon Marketplace), or other major retailer. There are tens of thousands of counterfeit copies of Windows produced in China on eBay and other auction sites as well as all the discount websites and the Amazon Marketplace. Take a look at

Counterfeit licensed software like Windows, Office, Creative Studio, etc is a major problem right now.

I recommend Professional.
1. It is what you have now so you can just change the product key and avoid reinstallation of Windows.
2. Home Premium and Ultimate go out of support in 2015. Professional will stay in support until 2020.
3. Professional includes the right to download the free XP Mode which is a fully licened copy of XP Pro SP3 which will run on your Windows 7 desktop. This is good for legacy gaming.

Thanks for the advice. I'm wondering if for the cost of the Windows 7 Pro key (about $300 it seems) I should instead just replace my 3 year old laptop!Wednesday, June 29, 2011 7:29 PM

That is an option, I just bought a new Laptop (for my dad) and I did see some PCs for as low as $350 (plus tax and shipping) but those don't have latest/greatest processor and other hardware, but should be enough for basic internet, email and light Office work. Keep an eye on the websites that track good deals (http://slickdeals.net is my personal favorite) for sales and discounts, those can save you a bunch of money.Thank you,

Look at the prices including Win7 Pro, rather than Home Basic/Premium.Is your current computer sufficient for you needs over the next couple of years?There are certain changes in technology coming soon, and you need to factor those into the equation of cost/benefit.Do you actually *need* Pro? - would Home Premium do for your usage?Can you bear a Clean Install? - this opens other options, and gives you effectively new computer.Don't just spend money because it's the easy option - think about what you want and need to be able to do, and then decide on your available options. My general advice to people in the market for a new PC it to decide on their budget first - and stretch it as far as you can on the PC itself, because that way it will tend to be a useful machine for longer.If all you want to do is email, Skype, and surfing then your current PC will almost certainly work happily for the next 5 years (hardware allowing),If you buy a new one now, then it'll probably be good for 7 years. Is the extra 2 years really worth the expense?If you purchase a Full Retail license for Win 7, then if/when you purchase a new replacement computer, you can install that on the new one (having uninstalled it from the old one) - this may significantly reduce the price of the replacement machine.<and now I'll shut up :) >

Good points! I guess I see my options as:
$300 for Win 7 Pro, avoid any reloads/hassle (I definitely don't require Pro)
$200 for Home Premium on existing laptop, requires reload (annoying, but manageable)
$600ish for a new laptop with Home Premium on it, requires data backup/transfer
Current laptop is a Gateway M-Series with AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology 2.00 GHz, 2 GB RAM, and 120 GB SSD, cost about $500 when I got it three years ago (it didn't come with the solid state drive). Most economical option seems to be get Home Premium, then install that on future new machine, but I didn't know it was an option to buy retail computers without an operating system on them?

Sure it is - but the big companies don't like doing it as they make a profit on the installation, and have to do a special. The smaller companies almost always have the option, but you may have to search for it a little.One of the little-known reasons why the big companies install so much rubbish (like Norton, McAfee, and various games trials) on your machine is that they actually get paid by the software houses to do so - and that pretty much pays for the Windows license. If you don't have Windows installed, then they can't install the software, and still have to drop the price - so they make less profit:)You haven't metioned the other option you have - the reformat back to the initial OS using the manufacturer's Recovery disks. It's bound to be cheaper than the others - usually less than $/£50, and does ensure that you get the appropriate base drivers, and whatever 'freebies' should be on the system (on some you have the option of which of these you actually want to install)
