Windows 7 validation issue

Question
-
I had windows 7 installed and validated on my home computer for approx two years before i began getting a message at each start up telling me to activate my copy of windows. Every time i try to re-activate it using the product key, it gives an error. Ive been dealing with this issue for about a year, but with no permanent success. Here is my MGADiag report:

The activation/validation is failing because the Key in use is for a DELL computer - and yours is a Hewlett Packard, which appears to have only a Vista SLIC table despite having a BIOS date well within Windows 7 territory.
Foe what version and edition of Windows is the machine licensed, according to the COA sticker on the case?
Where did you purchase the Upgrade from??

Thank you so much for the reply. I got the laptop from my father-in-law who works on computers. Im not sure what edition it is licensed to, as I no longer have the box. Im also unsure where the upgrade was purchased from, but i do know that according to my father-in-law everything was done legitimately and should be in working order. I had no problems for the first year or two after i got the computer. Is there a was to fix this problem or is this a compatibility issue that cannot be fixed?Friday, January 23, 2015 4:31 PM

It's not a compatibility issue, but a licensing issue - without a legitimate Product Key, there is no way to make the system genuine.
You need to check for such a Key with your father.

From what you're sayng It sounds to me like the legitimacy of the product key is not an issue, but that the version of windows is simply not compatible with the type of computer that it is being used on. Is this incorrect? If this is the case, would installing this windows onto a dell computer solve the problem? I do have a dell laptop that i stopped using because the OS was outdated. Also, if the issue has to do with validation, why didnt I have this problem since I got the computer? It doesnt make sense to me that it would work just fine for two years and then suddenly have this issue?Sunday, January 25, 2015 4:03 PM

The Key is legitimate ONLY where
1) the machine originally shipped with the relevant OS version and edition installed
and
2) The manufacturer's Recovery media are used.
all other installs are non-valid/counterfeit.
Assuming this Key has been in use throughout, then the probable explanation is that it was enabled by a hacker's Activation Exploit, which was recently broken/removed by an update such as Service Pack 1.
