Sold a laptop a few months back with a pirated windows 7 and office 2013 on it.
The guy finally figure it out and just sent me this
>I am finally getting around to setting up and transferring all my files to the laptop I purchased from you many months back. My son who is computer science major and home for the summer, was helping with this process and we discovered that both the OS (Windows 7 Ultimate) and Office 2013 that you installed are bootlegged copies. In extracting the key codes using a little program, none of them can be verified by Microsoft and the folder locations on the hard drives are not where they should be if they were legal copies. This likely explains why the laptop boots slow and Office programs also boot slow.
>More importantly, this means that you misrepresented what you were selling to me in the process when we were negotiating on the deal. You assured me they were legitimate copies and in my mind this is a major breach of integrity. You will note the invoice lists these programs as part of the deal.
>We have two options, you can either supply valid key codes for both Windows 7 Ultimate and Office 2013 to rectify the discrepancy or I can take other measures that will hold you accountable for copying and distributing pirated software. Microsoft does have a tip line for reports of bootlegged software and a whole division that investigates these matters. I do have your name, address and phone. Let me know how you want to handle this.
Is there anything he can actually do?
I feel like he'd have to go to small claims court for this and that would cost a lot of money and time
Is there anything Microsoft can actually do either?
Sold the laptop for about $720 I believe.

>sold a laptop with pirated software on it and the guy is claiming to take legal action unless I prove him with valid keys
