I am trying to validate a copy of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Home Edition.
There was a virus on the computer and it had to be taken to a tech to be fixed. In order to get rid of all traces of the virus, they had to do erase everything and re install Windows 7. I guess the trial period has expired because there is now a message that says the copy of windows is not genuine. I have the original product code for the original Windows 7 from the computer sticker. I tried using that code to validate windows but it did not work. I believe it's because it's the product key is for the original version of Windows 7 and not the Service Pack 1 edition. Is there anything I can do to validate Windows 7 with the old product key?
