What product can I use to activate Windows 7 Pro after getting message that copy of Windows is not genuine

Question
-
I have determined I have a MSDN PID and so I am getting the message that my copy of Windows is not genuine. Does anybody know for sure which version of Windows 7 Pro I need to purchase to update the key without having to reinstall? Can I use Windows 7 Pro Upgrade, or will I have to purchase the full retail version?

Here is the report from the MGADiag tool. I know for sure that the PID indicates a MSDN copy of Windows 7. If I do a reinstall with legitimate copy of Windows 7 Pro, is there a chance my current key will work?

You would need a Windows 7 Professional – Full License. Then see: Update Your Product Key in Windows 7.

Is it possible to have a valid product key and a non-genuine copy of Windows 7 installed? I suddenly got to thinking I was looking at this all wrong. I obtained the two items separately.

Quite possibleTo properly analyse and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the Continue button, which will produce the report.
To copy the report to your response, click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your response.

Unless you purchased Windows 7 properly from a trusted, reliable, proven seller that sells Windows 7 with a genuine holographic Windows 7 DVD, Certificate of Authenticity (COA), and printed licensing booklet, you do not have a genuine Windows 7 license at all.
