OK for those who got it working, talk us through what you did.

What page you signed into, with what you signed into with and then the process after that.

1. Sign into Live Account

2. Go to the Technet Windows 7 CPP site (it was still up at the time)

3. Choose English, click x64 button

4. ((Green Circle loading thinggy)) -> Fill out a short survey, they want to know your occupation, etc.

5. Upon submitting you get redirected to the keys site at profile.microsoft.com

6. ((Repeated F5 presses since 12:30pm PST)) Server Busy

7. Key displayed on the page. It's now 5:35pm PST

8. Jubilation ensues.

Woot i just got mine.. from doing this

http://blog.hznet.nl/2009/01/10/how-to-rec...-windows-7-key/

WOOT WOOT

and used firefox.

I didnt even get an error. Went right to it.

Worked here too, 64-bit was right away.

Thanks!

BTW I didn't fiill out any forms or anything, I just got a new live ID a couple hours ago.

Just got it to work. I managed to get through most of the form (when it was working) on Technet hours and hours ago. Refreshing the 64bit version of the key pages mentioned finally gave me the key.

Now, the fun is trying to get the silly download to work. I dread to think how much bandwidth I've wasted today getting to about 500meg through the download only to have it cancel on me. Flashget isn't any better, either.

I just got a 64-bit key! Wow what luck. I just followed what this link said, posted by a previous poster: http://blog.hznet.nl/2009/01/10/how-to-rec...-windows-7-key/

I didn't get any luck refreshing at the 32-bit, but first try on 64-bit and I got it!

WOW that **** actually worked.. For those of you trying to use the 32 bit method.. I did that FOREVER.. and it didnt work.. But the first time I did the 64 bit method it worked perfect..

Instructions I followed was here

If you get that error you are good to go, just keep typing in that link... If you look at the screenshot you see I have a bookmark called beta.. I just created a new bookmark called beta directing to https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/sc...w&LCID=1033

Just keep pressing that thing until you get the popup that shows

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
