    Hello,

    I am being alerted that my Windows 7 is not genuine. One thing to note is about 30 days ago I removed my HDD from my Lenovo laptop (purchased in USA) which got ruined in the rain, and put it into my old Sony VAIO (purchased in Italy) that used to run Vista. Until now, everything has functioned very well, and updates have been happening regularly. I read the forums and ran the recomended diagnostic posted below. Please let me know how I may resolve this issue. Thanks for your consideration. - Julia

    There's a number of schools of thought on the upgrade scenario you have.

    A question first.... is the Vista COA sticker still legible on the case?

    If it is, it qualifies you to use an Upgrade copy of Windows 8 or Windows 7

    The reason I ask about its legibility is that upgrading to either may require a telephone call to get it activated, and the operator is bound to ask for the original Product Key for qualification purposes.

    The good news is that it MAY just need a (valid!) Upgrade Key for Windows 7, and a phone call, to get your system legal again.

    The bad news as far as Windows 7 is concerned is that it may take a repair install to get the Upgrade Key accepted.

    For Windows 8 upgrades - I have no idea whether it's possible to use an Upgrade process (and Key) to genuinise a non-genuine system. Someone must have tried it by now - so I suggest asking in the Microsoft Community forums for advice on that ... http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_install 

    Upgrading with a Full Windows 8 license is a definite workable scenario - but be very careful about the install, as it may try and shove everything into a Windows.old folder!).

    Note that you must purchase the 64-bit upgrade/full package for Windows 8 if you want to keep your current data/applications etc intact. (Win7 Upgrades provide both x64 and x86 disks)

    The license for Windows OEM edition resides with the motherboard, not the user.

    You will need to purchase a new license for Windows, or revert back to the original Vista installation for the Sony, preferably using the Recovery media from Sony

    Thanks for your reply. I definitely do not want to revert back to Vista, nor do I have the original HDD that came with the Sony. Can I do an upgrade at this point to Windows 8, or do I need to get a whole new copy? I'm just tying to find the most cost effective way to resolve this. 

    Thanks for all you help Noel!

    You would need to purchase a "full version" of Windows 8 and perform a "clean install".  Example: Microsoft Windows 8 Professional 64-bit (Full Version)

    Thanks Noel,

    The Vista sticker is still legible. I'll call to see if I can do the Win7 upgrade, if not I'll just bite it and get the full. My main concern is maintaining my installed programs which is why I stuck my Lenovo's HDD into this Sony. Thanks again for your help! -Julia

    The Win7 sticker on my old Lenovo is still legible too. Does that mean anything in terms of an upgrade or new key purchase? Can I purchase this upgrade from the Mocrosoft? I'm only seeing the Windows 8 option on the site.

    That's a no-no.

    The License/Key for an OEM install CANNOT be moved from one PC to another, no matter the reason.
