Question
-
Can you help me. I have bought HP pavillion laptop with preinstalled windows vista and recently had to change hard drive, because old one crashed. I installed vista from cd that retailer gave me, but I am asked to activate windows. However when I put down the key it says it is already in use.
Here is copy of diagnostics

Since support for Windows Vista will be ending in 2017, I suggest purchasing and installing a genuine edition of Windows 10.

You will need to use the automated telephone system to activate your Windows Vista license. Wait for the option to speak directly with a Microsoft activation representative. Let us know if this technique was successful. Thank you!

I live in Malta and there is no microsoft to call to. Closest then would be in Italy, but that would be oversees call so not a good option with land line. Is there any other way maybe?Wednesday, November 16, 2016 4:24 PM
