    It took my hard drive with a genuine copy of windows 7 pro and put it in a different laptop. When I turned on the system I was promoted to (I'm not sure the exact message) but it was something like, there was a hardware change start your system to an earlier date. So I did. When I restarted my system I received a message that my windows 7 pro wasn't genuine. I tried to enter my product key and it won't except it.

    If you have an OEM version of Windows 7, please be advised that the OEM license cannot be transferred to a different computer as it is permanently tied to the original computer it was first activated on.  You would need to purchase a new Windows 7 license for activating the hard drive w/Windows 7 on a different computer.
