Windows7 Genuine serial Number validation error resolution method

With the official release of Windows 7, more and more netizens are starting to upgrade Windows 7, but recently many netizens have reflected the genuine authentication problem when using genuine Windows 7 installation: When the serial number is entered, "Error code: 0xc004f061" is displayed, which makes many people helpless.

The reason for this is that the serial number is actually an "upgrade sequence number" and can only be used for "upgrade install" instead of "net install," so most of these problems occur on users who have upgraded from XP to Windows 7.
