  I recently had to replace my motherboard and installed a new ssd at the same time and I can't activate my valid copy of windows. Who should I contact to validate my copy of windows 7?

  If you have a version of Windows OEM (Came pre-installed with the PC) then "The Big Goodby":
  Your motherboard breaks down, unless the replacement card is the same your OEM version will no longer turn on and can not be moved or transferred to another computer.

  OEM of Windows 7 versions have the following limitations of 'important ':

  (1) OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  (2) OEM licenses are tied to the computer 1 you install and activate it on.

  (3) you cannot reuse/reinstall an OEM version on another computer or another/replacement motherboard.

  (4) the OEM versions cannot be used to upgrade an earlier version of Windows, you must perform a
  Clean install (this means that your data is saved and the application must be reinstalled).

  -Old hard drive, the new Machine

  I have a hard drive with Windows XP.  The machine from Dell, in which it was loaded crashes - most likely a motherboard problem.  I installed the HDD on another machine that has had its hard drive failure - virus suspected, etc..  The combination of 'new' hard drive with Windows XP and the Dell with the card mother work seems to work.  I get the error that I have to reactivate Windows XP to connect.  I can't connect Internet (I have not discovered why in this case) and the result by telephone (voice) says that ID is not on file (?) and gives a Web site for activation.  I can't access the Web on the machine, and the Microsoft Web site with the "solution" has the answer in form of download - once again, not good because I can't access the Web with the machine in need of activation.  The phone translates a computer, not a person.  I changed nothing other than to remove the hard drive of a machine which does not to whoever's doing.  What can I do?  Thank you.

  The operating system of Windows XP which is not the operating system on which was installed when you purchased the Dell hard disk from Dell? If so, it's probably an OEM version and as such is "related" to the system BIOS, it came with. It will not activate connected to a system with a different motherboard and a different BIOS. In addition, if an OEM, software license version is no longer valid because it is no longer used with the material with which it was purchased.

  The reason why you can't get an Internet connection is bound. Since the XP system on the hard drive has been used in the Dell system, it is configured to be used in the Dell. There the drivers for the Dell hardware installed. You will need to identify the current computer's ethernet card, download and install the appropriate drivers for this card.

  When activating my windows vista ultimate product, I get the response that the license key is already in use, let me know how to solve this problem?

  KiranS Hello,

  Judging by your post, it seems that Microsoft had technical problems when you tried to activate your copy of Vista by phone. Have you tried phoning the line Activation again?

  The normal procedure is that if the activation fails through the automated system, the call is transferred to a real person. It is the only available option if you get the error 'use existing product key'.

  I can only suggest that you try again the activation by phone and see what happens.
