  1. What happens to your OEM Key if you don’t use your PC


    Just a curious question. I always thought if your decorating if you’re to package your PC away safe you would lose your license is this true. I know this happens with retail license key after 180 days I was just wondering can this happen with OEM License Key and if so how long 30 days 90 days or 180 days. And if that happen would mean no updates.

    :)

  2. Windows 7 OEM license don´t work

    Dear community,

    last week I bought a new notebook (asus gl752vw). I also bought an windows 7 pro 64 bite oem license. I installed the operating system windows 7 pro on my new notebook, but there was a problem, that the notebook drivers only work with windows 10 64 bit (****.
    I dont know why) I couldn´t even connect to the internet. I thought maybe first I should activate my license. I called the windows hotline and followed the steps. The 9 codes under the phone number of windows worked fine, so I got my activationcode from windows
    per phone. Now the problem was that i missed one letter or number from the activation id, so it said not more compatibIe. So my windows 7 oem license wasnt activated at all. After that I thought it would be better when I install windows 10. After the installation
    of windows 10 64 bit the notebook worked fine and all was possible. The only missing point is, when I wanna activate my license Windows say: "This product key is running on another pc. Please try it with a different key. Error: 0x803FA071.

    So when I wanna activate the license now per phone the 9 codes under the number aren´t verificated (that´s what the windows support voice said). Do you know how I can fix the problem or so? I don´t wanna buy a new license if it´s possible.

    (sorry for mistakes, cause I´m german).
