QuestionI have the product key on the back of my laptop. Why doesn't Windows recognize it when I try to verify it?Community AnswerYou can only download Windows with a product key if the system originally came from a disk. Your copy of Windows was preinstalled, so you can't do that. You'll need to borrow someone else's key for the download. However, actually activating the system should be doable with your key.

QuestionI have 3 Win7 boxes. I have a Win7 DVD for 1. The others (HP & Gateway) have a mfg installed Win7 in BIOS mode. How do I convert them to Win7 installed in UEFI mode so I can use GPT disks?ArroganceTop AnswererWindows 7 does not officially support switching an installation from Legacy to UEFI mode. It is not necessary to do so to read GPT disks. Windows 7 can read and write GPT partitions even in legacy mode. It just can't boot from them.
