I've read through several different posts about the same issue. None seem to help. I bought this computer from a Rent-to-own company, namely Premier Rental Purchase. I've had it for a good 2-2 1/2 years now. I've also transfered the old HD & CD Drive from the old Dell case, into a new Cooler Master tower, with a new motherboard, cpu and power supply. When I booted my computer up yesterday, I got a message saying that the License is invalid for this version of Windows. I'm not sure if I will have to buy a new CD of Windows, or if I could simply re-install it.

The installed Key is one for a Dell machine.

The motherboard here appears to be a retail one.

OEM Keys cannot be moved to new motherboards unless the old one fails and is replaced under warranty conditions - however you could try changing the Key to the one on the Dell's case and see if that will activate.

If you no longer have the case (and hence the Key), your only option is to purchase a new license for Windows.

No - I do not work for Microsoft, or any of its contractors.

Gotcha. I was hoping that wasn't the cause but, ah well. Thanks for the help, though.

Would it be better to get an OEM version, or retail?

For Windows XP-Windows 7 OEM licenses are locked to the first motherboard on which they are activated - Full Retail licenses can be moved freely between machines so long as they are only installed on one machine at a time.

That's one of the reasons for the price difference. The other major reason is that a Full Retail license entitles the first installer 90 free support from MS to iron out any problems. (the time starts from first activation)

Thanks, I believe I have the answer. Retail will probably be safer for me now, as I'm just kinda learning to build computers. So, thanks again. It's much help to know exactly what's wrong. :)

For comparison, Windows 8 doesn't have such a thing as a Full Retail license - there's a special addendum to the OEM license for the home-builder which allows its use and subsequent transfer.

Good luck - and have fun!
