I recently purchased a Samsung NP900X3A-B01UB notebook and buyer said that Product Keys or COA are attached so I can do a clean install. On the bottom of the device, there is a Windows 7 symbol, but in order for me to get an ISO for Windows 7, I would need the Product Key. There is no...
Recently there has been some debate on the legality on the buying and selling of Microsoft activation key's. Luckily for us Microsoft are quite clear about this:

I am a real dummy with this stuff. I bought 2 used computers at auction. They are Dell OptiPlex 760, 3.16 GHz, Core2Duo, 4Gb Ram. They have been sanitized and have no operating system on them. They originally had Windows Vista on them. I have been to EBay and there are a lot of products...

I looked through the other posts, and read everything but didn't find a correct answer for my situation.

My mother-in-law gave us her laptop this year for Christmas. It's about a year old, an HP G60, and it worked fine for her before she gave it to us.
Now, seemingly out of nowhere, we're getting messages that windows 7 isn't genuine and that we might be victims of software fraud. There is a COA...
I'm new here so not sure if this is the right place but am hoping someone can help me out. I bought what appeared to be a genuine Windows 7 Pro from Craiglist to save some money - it was shrinkwrap and had a COA outside. I installed this on a new laptop I got for my sister oversees. It installed...

So I decided to buy Windows 7 from eBay. I didn't trust the people selling product keys only, so I purchased a brand new retail package. When I shop on eBay, I always look for sellers that are really close to me so shipping is fast. So I found a seller, said to be located in Maryland (which...
i have vista on my pc and want to upgrade to windows 7. ebay has listings for keys and download links claiming the keys to be authentic, genuine, pass wga etc.... however other listings contain the actual software with coa (certificate of authenticity) So... do i actually need to own the coa?
In my "wisdom" when faced with the news of multiple burgarlies in my area over Christmas, & I then had to leave the house unattended for most of Christmas Day, I determined to beat the beggars should they decide to try my house, and went and hid my brand new Win 7 discs!! Unfortunately and...
