My Dell Studio 17 came pre-installed with Windows 7 Pro. After about 30 days it started to come up with the "Windows is not genuine" message, and I was advised by a friend to try a complete re-install of Windws 7 using the OEM disc Dell provided,
as apparently Windows should activated automatically during installation using a key in the BIOS. Unfortunately, it didn't work, and when I try and activate it says "The Windows 7 Professional product key you typed is invalied for activation" and
gives me these 3 options:
1. Buy a new product key online
2. Type a different product key
3. Contact Microsoft to help solve the problem
Obviously I'm not going to buy another key. My laptop did not come with any COA (I've got on to Dell about that...) so I can't do 2. I'm trying 3 right now on this forum. Here is the report I get from the tool:
