I had a major problem with my Toshiba laptop due to a virus and had to wipe the hard-drive and clean install it. It originally had Windows 7 Professional OEM:COA installed as this is what it came with. As I had a clean hard-drive I decided to put windows 8.1 as I already had the disk. I installed 8.1 and used the key it came with. No problems with installing or using but will not activate. I have checked with showkeyplus and it has told me Windows 7 OEM marker present in firmware. I still have the windows 7 key which is still on the sticker on the bottom, tried using this but also to no avail. Any ideas what I can do.
