Accidental Serial Key change?

Go to solution Solved by VTF5252,

Ahh they can't give me a product key cause I didn't keep my record of purchase arghhhhhhh

At this point I would look into "other" ways of permanently activating it because you did pay, but be careful and good luck.

So I messed up. I was trying to get Microsoft office for free and got this software called KMS. It like patched office so i could have it for free but I accidentally clicked  on Activate windows which caused to change my windows serial key which I actually paid for. Now I have to reactivate windows like every 30 days is there a way I can resolve this or have I Messed up too much?

The software won't let you change your windows key if it is already activated. 

unless you do some crazy shit

 

 

not that i would know 

 

 

logically just put your old fucking key back in.

and switch to google docs.

Well im pretty sure it was activated and today I got a notification saying your windows will expire on the 12th of Feb so I went into the software and it changed the serial key.

Do you still have the legit key. If so try activating with it if not try contacting Microsoft at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers/en-us

If I use words like probably or most likely, it is because I dislike certainty. These words can probably be omitted and the sentence read as a certainty.

call Microsoft they help me fix a problem recently just tell them you made a hardware change (like a cpu or something) and then they will run you though some steps and give you a code to put in

What? Where did you get key in first place? Online sends key to your email. Physical retail gives you COA sticker. And you can always reinstall. Should serve you right since its your own fault in first place.
