My wife spilled water over her laptop. This machine had a working version of Windows 7 without any Genuine Advantage errors. When the motherboard failed after the water incident we bought her a new laptop. All her data was on her old hard drive, and the drive still worked so we swapped the drives.
I knew I would need to install all the necessary drivers for the OS to work with the new laptop hardware but, I did not even think about verifying the windows product key.
Now whenever she is using her laptop she is getting prompted multiple times about counterfeit software.
Is there a way to verify her OS with the old product key that matches it from the old machine?
The reason you are getting this error is you cannot move an OEM license from one laptop to an entirely different laptop even if its the same brand. – Ramhound – 2012-11-28T18:58:32.067
