    Windows 7 Product key purchase questions

    Thanks for viewing my question.

    I originally had a cracked copy of Win7 Ultimate installed on this machine, but now I've been spotted as counterfeit and I'm willing to purchase it.

    My first question is to find out if there any places I can purchase just the product key online? I've looked around but I haven't found anything that specifically offers that.

    My second question is, if I purchase a product key for Home Premium, will Ultimate accept it and just dumb down to those features offered by Ultimate?

    Any suggestions would be appreciated before I spend any cash.

    Will I be able to use the upgrade product key to validate the pirate install?

    How did you get "spotted"? If it's by windows genuine shit, reinstall and this time pay attention to updates before downloading them.

    This.

    If you do end up purchasing a copy of Windows 7 online or in a store, I suggest you reinstall it all together as you've been flagged as using non-genuine/cracked software. Also, if you're a student, make sure you take advantage of the student pricing Microsoft offers.

    If he updated with Windows Update past a certain point it's possible it won't work.

    If this is true; reinstall your cracked version, don't run windows update, then run WAT remover.

    Thanks for the help. Googled WAT remover and it seems to have removed the annoying prompts for now.

    Or don't use a shitty loader. If you're using anything besides Daz. You're doing it wrong.

    There's no reason to use a loader anymore with wat though. It's completely replaced the need for them as far as I know.
