The upgrade of my hardware invalidate my installation of Windows Vista? How can I solve this problem?

I recently started to get the message "this copy of Windows is not genuine", which is a little disconcerting for me. I have recently (April 20, to be exact) installed Service Pack 2 and I also recently installed new hardware, but everything worked without problem until today. Let me include some details on my system, and also what items of equipment have been replaced:

OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit)
Recently replaced hardware: motherboard, RAM, processor, power supply, chassis

As stated, things were aired as easily as they always until today, when I noticed that my office is transformed to a solid black color instead of the wallpaper I had already. Then I noticed an icon in the system tray indicating that I could click it to activate my copy of Windows; When you click on it, I gives me the message "the product key of Windows Vista Edition Family Premium you typed is invalid for activation."  I've been running this copy of Windows for four and a half, and it has been installed on the PC that I bought directly from Dell, so I know that it is a legitimate copy. As my Dell OEM chassis has been replaced by a generic box (the new motherboard did fit properly into the exclusive Dell chassis), I do not have the sticker with the information of Windows, so I can't post it. I'll post the MGA information below; any additional necessary information is available, but I don't know what else could be required to post.

Information copied to my Clipboard of the MGA diagnosis tool are the following:

Well, it's a disappointment. If this is the case, it would be possible to purchase a license upgrade to Windows 7, or should I get a full version? I prefer to get the version if possible upgrade from $80 it's cheaper. Cancellation of my driver's license means that it is no longer an option?

"I suggest you buy a Windows 7 license, that Vista is no longer sold."

As I recommended you it to my 1st answer you need to buy a Windows 7 license.

And the reason is that you now don't have a Windows license to upgrade qualification, as your Vista license is void for the reasons I have already explained to you in my previous to this topic answers...

And before you buy a license of Windows 7, follow these steps to check if your hardware and software is Compatible Windows 7.

Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=20

Check if your specifications are compatible for Windows 7:

"Windows 7 system requirements"

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/system-requirements

"Windows 7 Compatibility Center" for software and hardware:

http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

And the Microsoft Store where you can get an idea of the price of Windows 7:

http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/en_US/list/CategoryID.50726100

See you soon.
