Pulling my hair out After my hard drive failed, I have done a clean install of Windows 7 Pro that I got from Microsoft as a student. How to activate Windows 7 OEM license using a retail disc I have been encountering a number of these lately, a person with a laptop wants to reinstall Windows 7, something goes wrong, either their recovery partition is damaged or they don’t have any recovery disc.

Pulling my hair outAfter my hard drive failed, I have done a clean install of Windows 7 Pro that I got from Microsoft as a student. I have always always done the clean install when I had to do an install and never had an issue before.This time when I try to activate I get this:I clicked the top option and get this:I entered my Product Code and clicked NextAfter a bit I get:Basically say I can't my Product Code with clean install.

There is NO option for activation phone or any other method.I resorted to doing a search for this problem and found this page.I tried to use Method #2. I made the changes in the registry and closed it.I then ran 'CMD'and got this message:I don't have a clue how to elevated privileges for this process.I did take ownership of everything in the windows folder but that did not help any at all.I really don't want to have to install Windows again. This is the first time it has worked well in two weeks.Please.

Does anyone have a way to fix this or another method I use to activate my windows?
