i use the same oem vista key for years, is it blacklisted ? NO is my system genuine ? YES can i use windows updates ? YES so what's the problem ? there's no problem. i even bought vista when it cames out but after beeing desactivated lot of times cause i changed some hardware parts or even drivers ! , it started to drive me crazy, was feeling that the OS i bought was not really mine so i started using the OEM way and I am happy like that
indeed. To frequent PC DIYers including me , the thought of reactivating the OS time and time again really sucks.
Like and idiot i prematuraly uninstalled the key after reading a few posts and now it has changed my wall paper to black screen and says windows 7 build 7600 this copy of Windows is not geniune. And i get the popups now. How do i get back to orginal state before the key was installed where i had 30 days then i could rearm? Or should i just put the key back on wait?
Why on earth you even uninstalled it ? . Dont use WGA checker and nothing will happen. PS: Vista Loader 3.0.0.1 never got detected not after sp1 and not after sp2 update.
so do i have to reinstall windows 7 now? I cant get rid of the this copy is not genuine and all the popups. Or do i need to install the key again? my bios is modded with 2.1 and cert are correct.
I did this slmgr -ipk ultimate keys" and now it good again. I will just wait till new keys come out then change it. I want to be able to use windows update
