I don’t know if this will help. It worked for me.


Down below is your key and your instructions for downloading it. You can burn it to a CD, and do a fresh install if you want. Because this is an upgrade version, activating it after a fresh install takes a couple extra steps which are:

Open regedit.exe with Start Menu Search and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE/

Change MediaBootInstall from “1” to “0”.

Close RegEdit.

Start Menu on the Command Line utility. Right-click this shortcut and choose “Run as administrator.”
Click Yes to the UAC prompt.

In the command line window, type: slmgr /rearm press enter

wait for the “Command completed successfully” dialog.

Then, close the command line window and reboot.
After Windows 7 reboots, Right Click Computer select Properties select change product Key.
