To properly analyse and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool
(download and save to desktop -
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the Continue button, which will produce the report.
To copy the report to your response, click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your response.
- **in your own thread**, please
Please also state the Version and Edition of Windows quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker!

You cannot install Recovery software from one machine onto another - quite apart from any issue with Windows, there are issues with every other piece of software bundled as well.
From what I can make out, you appear to have done this with not just one, but with TWO machines - both times ignoring the fact that the manufacturer provided the means for a reinstall with the machine in the form of a Recovery partition - from which you
may or may not have also been able to create a set of Recovery disks.
You should in theory reformat and rinstall using the proper manufacturer's Recovery media, or a Retail disk of the proper Windows version for each machine.
