I installed a genuine copy of Windows 7 Professional last week. The software was pre-ordered from a reputable company (Currys), so am certain that is it genuine.
I used the software successfully for a week without a problem.
My motherboard was then diagnosed with a problem, requiring it to be returned to the manufacturer and replaced. Before doing so, I took a clone of my 'C' drive. I replaced my motherboard with a brand new, identical motherboard (Gigabyte), and re-stored the cloned C drive.
I am now being told that I don not have a genuine version of Windows. But it is exactly the same one, installed on exactly the same machine, and activated just a week ago.
How do I resolve this? Validation Info given below:

While the drive and motherboard may be the same hardware models each one has its own unique ID. Since the unique IDs don't match, Windows thinks it's on a different system.
Believe it or not most economic losses from application and OS piracy are in the business sector, where companies often buy a single license for a software package to install on tens to thousands of identical machines, and smaller manufacturers attempt to ship as many systems as they can with as few licenses as they can. Windows looks at unique IDs in order to prevent these things from happening.
In your case I would suggest that you reactivate it and/or call Microsoft and explain the situation. Sadly, there isn't much else we can offer in terms of advice.

Since this may be the problem, reactivating might not fix the issue. In that case, reinstalling would be the resolution.
