I bought a laptop off Gumtree at the beginning of the year. Software all preinstalled. I'm now getting a prompt to say that my Windows license will expire soon (25th July). The prompt then takes me a screen asking for an activation code. I didn't get any documentation along with the laptop and there are no Windows stickers on it. I used a product key recovery program to recover the current product key, but it doesn't work in the "Enter New Product Key" box.
WTF is going on? Why is it asking for a product key? Do I have to reinstall a new copy of Windows , or can I purchase just a new product key? The laptop also came with a copy of AutoCAD which I cannot afford to lose. Argh.
