    Hiya,

    I have installed my copy of Windows 7 64 bit onto my new SSD (nice and quick), but its now not letting me validate, due to "The product key used to activate Windows on your PC is already in use on another PC or has been blocked by Microsoft. Not to worry, we can help you with that."he product key used to activate Windows on your PC is already in use on another PC or has been blocked by Microsoft. Not to worry, we can help you with that.

    The other hard disk which i have previously used Windows 7 on i am trying to delete (But i have to figure out why i cannot format the partition as windows is installed) Seems Microsoft want to charge me 43 quid, to telephone them and get the software i already bought and they arent letting me validate sorted :P

     

    Any Ideas? Thanks For your Time!

    It seems you added an SSD and installed a second copy of Windows 7. The boot files for both installations are on the original disk, which is why you cannot delete them.

    What you have been trying to do is get Microsoft to activate a second installation (on your new SSD) on the same hardware. Microsoft will not do that.

    What you have said to Microsoft has led them to block your key. I presume there has been some mutual misunderstanding.

    If you make a clean installation with your SSD as the primary boot drive, so the boot files are on the SSD and you can delete the original installation, you can then call Microsoft and ask them to unblock your key. Disconnect the disk with the original installation while installing on the SSD.

    You should have researched the required procedure before installing Windows 7 on the SSD.

    Use the automated telephone activation. Type "slui 4" (without the quotes) in the Start box and follow the instructions.

    If that fails, wait for an operator and explain that you have only one installation.

    Hi Dominic, thanks for your reply :)

     

    I try SLUI 4 into the start menu and got through the Activation Department, they were not able to generate me a key so put me through to Customer Services, Customer Services said that as my license is for an upgrade that i will need to reinstall the original operating system, and then upgrade from there..

     

    I am pretty sure my original install was an OEM install so that is not possible as this was in excess of 3 yrs ago i got that.

     

    Is there any way of Migrating the key, i have obviously upgraded from my previous install because i would never have activated and use it for years otherwise.

     

    It would seem my only option at the moment is to either just try and use windows for as long as possible unactivated, or to try and find a way to disable the activation. Its a shame but i think this is why piracy is hurting software sales; seeing as how even when you legitimately purchase the right product they make it impossible for you to do it :P (/Rant)

     

    Does anybody know of a method i can use to migrate the product key. I have not yet figured out how to delete my old installation partition because Windows wont let me delete it, so is there a way i can try to boot onto that partition and perform an install to my new SSD? etc

     

    Thanks, Tom

    See Methods 2 & 3 at Clean Install Windows 7 with Upgrade Media.

    Thanks Dom, i have now run this as an upgrade and reinstalled.

     

    Following my phone call yesterday my Product Key is now being Blocked By Microsoft!

     

    Any Ideas? This key is 100% genuine and i have been using it, literally since the day Windows 7 came out. Tried to get through to them via the automated system again and now its telling me i may be a victim of software piracy, which i most certainly am not.

     

    Any Ideas?

    It seems Microsoft is having a problem with their servers. Looks like it involves downloads from the Microsoft store and Digital River.

    You could try this:

    Contact the Microsoft Store where you opened your account. Several users are reporting that the Microsoft Store had a problem this week causing this sort of problem. The Store is resolving the issue.

    If you try this let us know the results.
