About this tag
The tag 'rubbed' on WindowsForum.com is used in the context of physical wear on a Windows 7 product key sticker. A user reported that the sticker on the base of a second-hand laptop was mostly legible except for one rubbed group of characters, making it difficult to verify genuine Windows. Discussions under this tag focus on deciphering worn or faded product keys, often involving Windows 7 systems. The tag may also cover related troubleshooting for product key recovery or validation when the sticker is damaged.
I've bought and repaired a 2nd hand laptop. Everything swell apart from trying to verify genuine windows.
The sticker on the base is all legible but for one group of numbers/letters.
Can anyone help me decipher? or have any clues?
I know win 7 keys are cheap, but it's the principle...
