Hard disk switching RRS feed

  • Question

  • I had two (2) HP laptop computers. One was with a genuine Vista version and the other was with a genuine Window 7 version. The Vista version hard disk broke down and the video card Window 7 computer broke down.

    I have switch the hard disk putting the window 7 version in the vista computer and it is working but I always get a message that my version is not genuine and I can not receive upgrades.

    What can be done to solve the problem?

  • Hello,

    I'd ask in the Windows 7 forum on Microsoft Community.

  • Hello,

    The Windows Desktop Perfmon and Diagnostic tools forum is to discuss performance monitor (perfmon), resource monitor (resmon), and task manager, focusing on HOW-TO, Errors/Problems, and usage scenarios.

    As the question is off topic here, I am moving it to the Where is the Forum... forum.
