I bought a computer from a local shop in March 2012 with Windows 7 Home Premium installed. I just bought a new solid state drive, but after much effort, I was not able to transfer my existing Windows installation to the new drive, so I reinstalled Windows
on the new drive from scratch using the DVD-ROM that the vendor gave me with my computer. (Printed on the DVD disk is "Intended for distribution with a new PC.") Now when I try to activate the new installation using the product key stickered onto the
DVD-ROM case, I get a message like "your product key is not valid." I called Microsoft to try to validate by phone, and the technician said that I have a retail version of Windows installed but my product key is for an OEM version and gave me no other information
or help. What can I do?
When I ran SFC, the response was "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations." When I went to the Windows validation Web site, the validation test ran and the only response was "Welcome to Windows" with links to other products.
Here is the response from MGADiag. The product key listed does not match the one on the sticker on the case for the Windows DVD. Thanks in advance for your help.
