Windows 7 pro is no longer supported. it wont activate on a full drive. You should get a new hard drive and install again. or try cloning to larger drive [URL]   [URL] Windows 7 machines  DO NOT have key in bios. They have an SLP OEM key but the activated key comes from the COA. If your PC came preinstalled with Windows 7, you should be able to find a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) sticker on your computer. [URL] [IMAGE]coa          
Hello community members, Recently one of our computers had an error going on, basically it would keep trying to "restore" the windows session(i dont know if restore is a good word, in polish it is "wznawianie", it could be translated to like "continue" or "restore" ) then it would show an error regarding a problem with interactive logon ( once again i dont know the exact wording for this term, in polish it is "logowanie interaktywne" ). After that error it took You to the logging screen in which you only could press the buttons on screen, but the logon was not working(could press ctrl+alt+del on either keyboard or the touch keyboard on screen). After that I tried returning it to previous good configuration and then after it didnt work, i tried booting in safe mode which also did not work. I took it to my computer to try and investigate the full HDD (there was another story with this PC before, basically it reporting that the HDD is full) at first the drive did not load at all, but on second try i was able to access the drive and it obviously wasnt full. I decided to try to boot the system again and it magically started working, but from that point the system was not activated, the product ID doesnt even have the OEM letters in it. Tried some program to retrieve the key from the system, but to my surprise there was no line regarding the BIOS key, which would mean that there should be sticker on the PC, but it is nowhere to be found. This is where i decided to try the recovery partition, which ultimately broke the entire system. I clean installed the windows, still not able to activate it, for now i left it running as it is used on daily basis by workers, but we obviously cant leave it like that without license. So what do i do now? Anyone has an idea what could have happened to the computer?   TL:DR something weird happened to the PC, and out of nowhere it is not activated. The model is Vostro 260 with W7 Pro. Thanks in advance, Best regards, Emil.
Weird situation with Windows license on one of the computers in our company.
