Phone call
Today I received a robo call saying the license for windows was expiring and left an 800 number to call. I have a laptop with Win 7 that is about 8yrs. old. I have never heard of having to renew a license when it was on the computer when I bought it. Has anyone received similar calls? I did not call nor do I intend to call. This seems like a scam to me.

Yeah, I'd ignore it. As Mitch said, MS doesn't do business that way.Harold Dye wrote:Today I received a robo call saying the license for windows was expiring
Yet. I'm still waiting to see what MS decides to do next - Win10 is the first time they gave away a new OS version. Speculation on the net is rampant about the prospect of going "subscription", like other vendors have, Adobe being one notable.Windows licenses don't "expire".
