Hello!
DELL Vostro 3555 laptop
I decided to format the laptop that was bought as "used", of course I got it cleaned from the files of the previous user, but the time has come to carry out the next format.
The seller ran the company and I am not 100% sure if the "collective" license was not used for this laptop.
The laptop has a sticker with a license key on the cover.
To the point:
I installed Windows 7 Professional (it was a copy or actually a packet of various windows 7, because the seller did not attach any CD, etc.) from a bot-oval flash drive, previously cleaning all drives (C also). After completing the installation process, I entered the key from the sticker and it happened what usually happens "The entered Windows 7 product key is invalid for activation". I've seen quite a few of these problems on Google, but nowhere have I found solutions for DELL.
The easiest solution they suggest is to contact MS, but before making a phone call I'd like to know:
-What can such activation look like?
-Is it enough for the same laptop sticker, or maybe you will need something more e.g. a disc (which I do not have)?
-Can they stick to the source from which I got Windows 7?
-What to do if I used the activator in the hope that this would eliminate the problem?
