Otherwise call the MS number and talk to a real person

CD came with the laptop not the desktops. Of course the laptop is
fine... It somehow transferred ownership to my wife, in dealing with
this. For Christmas I got her a bag so she can take it with her (she
travels more than I )

I'm resigned to speaking to a MS person next time I see her, but this
sucks because it limits my hardware tinkering ability - big hassle
every time I change/format a drive.



I see that making a phone call to ms won't help you as you were
attempting to use an already used product number.
