Hi,
I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium OEMAct.
Some time ago hdd died so I bought a new one and replace the broken hdd.
Then I downloaded iso image with Vista and installed it.
During the installation process, I put the key that was provided with the laptop on the sticker. Vista Home Premium 32 bit was installed based on the provided key.
The key was validated and looked like it was accepted because it didn't display any message related to the invalidity for the key. I asked to activate the OS after installation by checking the corresponding checkbox.
After I installed all drivers I went to system information and saw that I need to activate OS...
I saw and see the error 0x80072F8F if I try to activate OS.
So what I have done.
1. Online activation - the result is 0x80072F8F error.
2. Automated telephone system - I provided all codes it asked me about then a robot said sorry I can't activate ...
3. The Phone Activation option with a real person - he said to me that I can try the robot but it had already been done without any luck and
then he said that he can't activate vista because he didn't have a tool for that
and finally, he suggested two options: to buy a Win 10 that doesn't seem reasonable on this laptop or
post question on answers.microsoft.com so
Could you please help me with this situation and guide me on how to activate Vista on the laptop?
