I have an original copy of Win 7 home premium 64bit OEM. last weekend I upgraded my set up to a 4770k and new mobo,put all my programs and games back on to a freshly formatted ssd but forgot to activate it. Now that all the updates and service packs are installed it wont accept my activation key. Any
dead what I can do as I cannot be chewed to spend another 7 hours to get it back to the current state.
 
unplug the lan cable and activate it and it should give you an option to activate by phone and a code,ring it free and it will give you a code to enter,it might work that way
 
I just had to reactivate after swapping my mobo. Gives you an 0800 number to call and you key in a ( very ) long number and it gives you a long number back to type in :)
 
So the issue is that it says your key is invalid or with activation? It reads to me as the former. If so, double double check the key, 8 looks like B's etc.
