How To re-activate Windows or Change Product Key
Thursday, October 29, 2009

If for some reason you need to update your Windows product key in Vista, XP or Windows 7, it can be done. This is usually needed in Windows XP if a problem occurs with Windows Genuine Advantage notifications.

Microsoft has a PKU (Product Key Update) tool available here:

Once the tool is run, Windows will re-activate once you have rebooted.

Windows 7 Install Error 0xC004F061

If you receive error "0xC004F061" during Windows 7 activation, it means you're using a Windows 7 upgrade product key and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your computer when Windows 7 was installed.

So far, we've been pleased with Windows 7, however, this little "feature" will cause a lot of problems. When upgrading an OS like XP to 7, there are a wide variety of drivers, applications and other things on your computer that aren't going to be compatible with 7. Also, many people who are do for a clean OS install don't want to move all of their problems to the new OS.

Until there is a workaround, if you want a clean 7 install, we're recommending you back up your data, do a format, put a clean copy of XP or Vista on, then do the 7 upgrade.

If you had a perfectly working Vista install, the upgrade to 7 may not be so bad. We'll be testing that more tomorrow.
