    Friends

    A friends's Toshiba Satellite laptop with win 7 installed working ok, but my itchy fingers did a sp1 upgrade on it. Upgrade successful but then it says OS is not activated. There is no record of the serial number of the OS on the laptop.

    Any bright ideas or do i resort to going pirate!! HELP.

    Download and run the Genuine Diagnostics tool (MGADiag.exe). Click "Continue", click the "Copy" button then “Paste” the report into a reply message in this thread.

    It could very well be a malware infection, SP1 should have been on that machine YEARS ago!!! Windows 7 RTM without service packs EOL was April 9, 2013!

    Thanks Arie. The laptop certainly has a genuine win7 as it comes with it.
    At the time of purchase SP1 is not there at all. So what is the best option?

    The "best option" would be to "Download and run the Genuine Diagnostics tool (MGADiag.exe). Click "Continue", click the "Copy" button then “Paste” the report into a reply message in this thread."

    Easier way out
    Just install a fresh win7 then apply sp1, it worked then.
