For some reason, my BIOS was a bit crazy at the moment, and each time I started the pc, the date and time of the clock would go crazy. Well, it all ended being related to the clock of the system.

I was getting the error 0x80072f8f on both Windows Update and the Windows 7 activation failure, such a coincidence. I started digging up on what the problem could be, and I figured out it could be related to Windows 7 not being activated properly.

But, for some reason, after getting my network drivers and, so, beingĬonnected to the internet, Windows Update couldn't connect and start downloading all the updates. I introduced the serial key and everything, and it went ok. So, I bought a Samsung EVO 850 ssd drive (500Gb) and installed Windows 7 Home Premium on it, already with the Service-Pack 1. Ok, it might be a bit late, but here it is.
