I just upgraded my old P2 case with new hardware.I had a tech reactivate my windows OS from my old setup to new.I now have built a backup system with my old hardware(including my old HDD w\Win7 64) and am getting a "This Windows 7 operating system is not genuine"in the bottom right corner of the desktop screen.
I am guessing that I should buy a New Win7 disk w\New activation key?
Will that work and how do I activate it without reinstalling whole new OS?
It originally was an upgrade from Vista but....in 2014 I had the drive wiped(had a virus) and I believe the tech used a full version.
I connect them both in the same room so I don't know anything about networking and if this will conflict with new build.Any help would be appreciated.
