Posted March 27, 201311 yr FPCH Admin Basically the title says all. My hard drive got corrupted, and I had to do a clean install of Windows 7. Unfortunately, my desktop came with Windows 7 installed, so the activation key cannot be used again. I desperately hope that I don't have to buy Windows just to get a valid key. I get the following error when entering the product key: "The product key you have entered appears to be a default product key and cannot be used for activation. Type a different Windows 7 Home Premium product key." Any and all help is much appreciated. View the thread Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
