How to Fix Windows 7 WGA
- 1). Turn on your computer and wait for it to boot up. The WGA problem leaves you with only 30 days to activate your issue of Windows 7. If the 30 days passes and you have not activated it, you will not be able to run any programs on your computer. However, you will be able to copy your files off of the computer onto an external storage drive.
- 2). Locate your Windows 7 installation packaging that came with your computer or the retail Windows 7 you purchased. On the inside of the packaging is a software key that needs to be entered in order for your issue of Windows 7 to be activated. Locate the key and keep it handy.
- 3). Click the "Start" button on your computer. The "Start" button is located on the lower left side of the screen. Right-click "Computer" and click "Properties." At the bottom of the next screen is text that shows how many days you have to activate Windows. Click the "Change Product Key" button near the timer.
- 4). Enter in your software key from the packaging and click "OK" to send the key to Microsoft for verification. Wait for the key to be verified and you will be congratulated with "You have successfully activated Windows." Your WGA problem is solved.
