Charged computer hard drive Gateway laptop with Windows 7 and installed in the Dell computer. Now it says Windows is a counterfeit

my gateway labtop has been damaged so I removed the hard drive and installed in my dell requires a hard drive.  It worked great for about a month and now it tells me that I have a copy of windows conterifet.  When I bought the two all have windows 7 on them what make?  I can't afford to buy and I have not to?

When you buy a computer with a copy preinstalled Windows 7, it's the OEM version is good ONLY for the system with the original motherboard.  If you remove the hard drive and move to another computer, Windows 7 license is not good and cannot be enabled.  Please don't shoot the Messenger!  :-)

Good luck.
