windows updates problem After doing a repair install
Gamezertruth:
I found where the problem is! All this because I own my 30 trial windows version lol ! and that’s why i got Unknown window updated for
IE program after i doing a repair install so Do you think I'm right :wink:
Boggin:
Could well be because WUs can also fail if MS thinks your install isn't genuine.
Were you just trying to squeeze some more time out of the install before having to activate it ?

You are absolutely correct, it was genuine for 30 day i think as a trial and yeah i don’t have any License key, so I have not tried to activate my Windows system! :wink:

This trick will work on non Genuine system? :wink:

You shouldn't really be using what amounts to illegal use of Win 7 but you can extend the 30 day trial to 120 which I think is acceptable.

I shouldn't really be encouraging you by posting this link http://itstrickszone.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/windows-7-all-product-keys.html but you could have found it from a Google of your own.
I looked for something like it because of the now difficulty in downloading a Win 7 SP1 ISO as MS are no longer releasing them to the public.
I tried a couple of the vendor generic keys but this site - which is the only place you can now download them from, didn't accept them or by others using their genuine retail keys, although some did have success. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery
I didn't get around to viewing the YT video that is linked in that Tips & Tricks article in case of failure but as you will have more incentive, then perhaps you could share your experience if successful.
