Well as some of you may have seen in my other thread, got hold of a netbook but want to remove all the manufactorers crap.
Managed to get a windows 7 disc ran this set it to windows 7 starter (as my netbook is installed with) Wiped the hdd as normal installed win 7 starter entered the product key from underneath the machine and it is saying the key is not a valid windows 7 key.
I have triple checked and i typed it in right, But still the same message.
Anyone shed any light on this???

Thanks

Well i did not have a disc as its a netbook so didn't come with one.
I was advised i would have to download one, The windows 7 i got came with all versions on it including starter.

One thing i have noticed is that in the bottom right corner of the desktop, It says something about being Evaluation copy build 7100.

Does that mean anything? Also i didn't think you had oem and retail discs anymore??

Ahh right ok that makes a little more sense lol
Excuse my lack of knowledge but what does rtm mean?


Thanks

Does this mean i'm going to have to buy Windows 7 home premium or something now?

Not good

Well thank goodness for that. Managed to get hold of the right version of windows installed and all activated.
There was a few times the netbook nearly went out of the window and its only 2 days old lol.

Thanks for the help.
