I need some advise on activating windows.
My son bought a PC off of one of his friends a little while back it had Win 7 Pro 64 bit on it, He did the free upgrade to Win 10 that microsoft was offering and that was all great until he had some issues with the machine and we needed to rebuild it.
When he bought it from his friend he didnt have a disc, and when we looked on the case for the activation key, they sticker was not there. Get get around this for the time being we used my win 7 disc but of course we now need a key.
We cannot use mine because it is my key against my PC
We dont have a sticker with an activation key
The friend does have a record of the activation key either
I called Microsoft, they dont sell Win 7 anymore
I cannot think of a way to get a legitimate win 7 pro 64bit key to reactivate his machine and then do the Win 10 upgrade again.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks
