Windows 7 Starter Activation Error Code 0xC004E003 RRS feed

  • Question

  • I have a year old Acer Aspire One with Windows 7 Starter. Never had an issue until 2 days ago when I was told that my copy of Windows is not genuine and I need to activate it. When I try to activate I get an error code of 0xC004E003. I have the product key from using a key finder program but the key on the underside sticker has been worn down due to use. I ran the MGA Diagnostic Tool and the results are:
