How do I activate Windows 7 without a key if it seems to only reset the 30-day period?

Community Answer

This method will only allow you to do this a maximum of three times, for up to 90 days. After this, you'll have to either purchase a key or reinstall Windows.

My computer has been attacked by viruses and malware. What should I do in this case?

Community Answer

Reinstall Windows: reinstall or use System Restore. That will take you back to an earlier time than you have used your computer.

Question

I waited for 2 hours for a pop up to restart my computer. I also closed all programs so it pops up and nothing pops up.

Community Answer

There might be a BSoD. Also, see if your computer has any popups. This might help. And try reinstalling Windows 7.

Check your activation status. Right-click on "Computer" and select "Properties". This opens the System Properties window. Your activation period should be reset to 30 days. Don’t forget that this command can be used up to 3 times giving you a total of 120 days of potential activation time.

Question

What is the installation ID for Windows after putting in the product keys?

Community Answer

Windows 7 must be activated in order to be used beyond 30 days. You can use the “rearm” console command to renew your activation grace period. It should be noted that the rearm command can only be used up to 3 times, extending your activation period to a maximum of 120 days.
