    How to activate windows 7 key

    If you have a Key, that means that you should be re-activating an existing bought or preinstalled package of Windows 7.

    Warning:

    You do not buy a Product Key by itself, as they are normally stolen/pirated, Volume Licenses which are not for private use, or MSDN keys which are not to be sold by the original subscription holder.

    Make sure that you buy the complete sealed package (DVD, license)

    Read Section: Beware of Product Keys sold separately.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Follow these instructions if you have a legal product:

    You can. I have not done one in a few months, but it still worked then using the telephone system.

    Of course you must hold a valid and legal Microsoft Product Key and you must have installed the same edition of Win7 that the key pertains to.

    Note that OEM licences are NOT transferrable to another machine. Some Refurbisher licences are not re-installable. Licences bought in a retail store are transferrable.
