Firstly, I have an older computer that works great, however Windows 10 is not an option for this machine.
Secondly, I have a legitimate version of Windows 7 that has been freshly reinstalled and will not activate online as it had previously, error code 0x80072f8f.
Thirdly, I have attempted to activate over the phone first by auto (type in a series of numbers into the phone) and later by speaking to a person, both options failed.
I was then passed from one operator to a second to a third and no one in Microsoft land of support could assist. The answers I got ranged from:
a) Your product key is invalid contact the vendor. I stated it worked fine before format and the OS was purchased over ten years ago, vendor no longer operating hence speaking to Microsoft. No assist, passed on.
b) I'm just a customer support, let me pass you on to tech support. No assist, passed on.
c) Do you have a case number? Me says 'No, just got passed on from person to person, need help'. Got hanged up on.
So at this stage of frustration with MicroCorp decided to comb community as the assistant at Microsoft could not handle a couple of questions and ended up looping on.
From what I see here, the only way to activate W7 is via phone, but if this won't work???
Does Microsoft no longer validate Windows 7 by trying to force people off to Windows 10 through invalidating Windows 7 codes?
What's the go Microsoft?
