Those are between you and the PC maker to solve.
But there is an exit folk are using to save the 99 bucks. Install Windows 10. Yes, it's not released but the current version is free for maybe a long time.
Almost all "product key" sales are illicit. I would buy the real thing or just move to 10.

Hi to everyone, i brought my computer to a shop a few weeks ago for the substitution of the hard disk.
They did not register windows with the product key as the code under my pc was partially cancelled, and they told me that i could have done it calling microsoft.
I tried to download a program for the product key, but it gave me just a default key, useless for the registration.
Then i called several times microsoft and samsung, but both of them were unable to give me the product key even if i had the ID of my computer.
So i tried to call vodafone(i bought the pc through them), i went to the shop where i got it with the original boxes of the purchase, but even them were unable to find it or gave me a new one.
At this stage i see myself compelled to buy a new product key, i just wanna be surethat it will work as i have seen in the microsoft website that in this case i should buy or download a new windows 7. Maybe i didn't understand as i'm not good with this kind of things....can i buy just a product key or i need a new windows 7? Thank you very much to who will help me. Best Regards
