So I take my 'puter to get a new motherboard. The place says okay we fixed it! Got it home, it fired up once. Took it back and four months later they said "we'll find one just like it and sell it to you". I said fine, unwillingly, but told them I wanted the OS from my hard disk on the new one. I expected them to clone my hard disk to the new one. What do they do? Put a pro version of the OS I had on the hard disk with that hacker proggy kmsauto. Piss me completely off. I have zero spare dollars to buy an OS much less a new computer. What would be the best way for me to get my old legal version of the OS onto a new hard disk so I can stop using an illegal copy? I'm okay with cracked software and stuff- just not the OS and not when I didn't ask for it. Know what I'm sayin'?
ah thanks. I've thought about that but I'm not sure I want to bust the store, I mean, that's their income stream and I'd hate to mess with a person's family's well being. So far nothing has popped up other than the kmspico prog... Be my luck Microsft would blame me and nuke my laptop!

Contact Microsoft with the information of the repair store and explain what happened. I would be very cautious about putting personal info onto that computer, especially financial stuff. Maybe give it a once over with this or some other software to see if anything pops up.
I can't really help with installing a legit copy of Windows because I've never done it.
