  • MGA Diagnostic Report is Required:

    To properly analyze and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )

    Once downloaded, run the tool.
    Click on the Continue button, after a short time, the Continue button will change to a Copy button.
    Click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your post.

  • Hi,

    Do you see the Windows 7 product key striker on the desktop ? If yes then you already have a license is my understanding, Check with the 1st owner if possible if they have the installation media.

    Or contact the Vendor its self who the Desktop manufacturer is and ask if they can provide a copy of the installation media or a recovery disk from which you can recover the old Windows 7.

    If the above does not apply then then you need to purchase a Windows OS from Microsoft and install it.

    In addition, this article may give you some ideas.
