    That's what I have done later
    I mod my bios by award Mod tool v 1.33 with dell slic2.1, then flash my bios.
    after that i use Windows 7 loader v1.7.7 - By Daz in advanced options I just installed the certificate and serial for dell with ultimate serial , I just click "Install certificate and serial" I didn't use install software mod option.
    reboot m system and check for the version online and IT PASSES Perfectly
    thanks all....

    Anybody have modded Toshiba BIOS with TOS cert but non TOS ultimate key (since there's no leaked TOS ultimate key).
    Trying to see if that will pass the new WAT update.

    to those of you who originally used REMOVEWAT and then could not validate. here is what I did. Now the best way is to format the drive and reinstall win7. but like many of us I had a lot of programs, settings and data installed. Originally I was using the PRO version. I used the universal dvd and did an upgrade to ULTIMATE. It took well over an hour (90 minutes) to do the upgrade. Compatability report said I had to uninstall itunes first. I also did the upgrade from within windows. after she finished I ran the loader. On first reboot mgadiag reports invalid licence (previously it was tampered binary). On 2nd reboot mgadiag reports genuine..she then passed validation...fyi..
    regards

    That must be pi$$ing off the paying customer. I wouldnt be happy at all with that result, and neither should Micro$oft.

    WAT i think is the biggest hurdle non microsoft programmers have yet to get around as its behaviour and update every 90 days is so unpredictable,like everything so far we will find a way around it.....im guessing its going to be in service pack one so everyone will have it wether they want it or not!what an absolute privacy breach and im sure there is many companies out there that dont want there data going back to uncle bills servers! SHAME ON MICROSOFT AND SHAME ON BILL.G. for contributing to a growing community where nothing will be private anymore!!

    I have a Gigabyte mobo, modded bios (Dell), Dell cert & key. Should this be ok, or should I change to Gigabyte slic, cert & key just to hopefully be safe, with Win 7 Ultimate x64?
