I installed Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) on another computer as my old drive crashed. The old key that I entered does not work. What should I do?
My laptop crashed and I started my laptop to another and installed Windows 7 above. I tried to activate with my old Windows 7 Ultimate key (which was on my dead computer) but it does not work. What should I do? Hope I didn't buy the new Windows 7 key.

Key ESC Office keyboard does not work on desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 x
Key ESC Office keyboard does not work on desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 x
Now, it's a boring, which several other users have reported under different threads. Because I couldn't find a post with quite similar symptoms, I made my own topic.
I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 x on an old one (Intel Quad-Core, 4 GB RAM, 524 GB HDD - in case, for reasons unknown to me, someone needs to know it...) , DellXPS system. Not more than a few weeks ago my home button keyboard unresponsive on this system.
I did a lot of troubleshooting, but these measures have been carried out:
* Tested keyboard on the other system, touch ESC WORKS on the other system
* Reinstalled keyboard and USB drivers on the XPS system, ESC key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
* Connected to a never-before-used USB keyboard, ESC key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
* Opened and cleaned the keyboard, tested, Escape key WORKS, Don't DO NOT WORK on the XPS system
* Tested in various applications: Desktop (Esc will close the start menu), Photoshop, Vegas, Notepad, games full screen OpenGL,Escape key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
* Google for possible solutions, none found...Note: Highlights show where the ESC key does not work. I am troubled by the XPS system.
In case you missed it my list of troubleshooting steps, the ESC key works on another computer of Windows 7 system.
I have to still garble my self through the registry in the hope that someone might have an idea of the steps to follow before I lose a day to see the things that I honestly know squat. Please help if you can; What could be the issue/common application that separates this key in the Windows world and how could I solve this problem?
Thank you in advance!
For reference,.
No major changes have been made since the keyboard unresponsive with the exception of:
Updates to FireFox (including modules Ad-Block Plus, NoScript, which have also been updated).
Windows Update
A 10.x MB World of Warcraft patch/update on a keyboard AFTER week unresponsiveAlready installed the patches StarCraft II and World of Warcraft, which none touched my keyboard to my knowledge. I finished almost all of StarCraft II and had no problems...
I know it's a bit old, but I was living the question myself. Thought I had found the problem and it was fixed but then it happened again. Came to find out (by closing a program and test the ESC key) it's because Photoshop.
With the help of Photoshop, which could match the case you mention. Not only that but I did a search ('ESC' does not not Photoshop) and stumbled on some answers/solutions workaround for it. One is to use SHIFT + ESC ESC does not work.
Hope this helps someone. I fell it using my original research ("Windows 7" BSE "ESC" keyboard does not) and know that others are likely to see. If you have not already learn the cause, in the year + since your original message, then voila.
