Windows 7 not genuine problem

It seems like that's an OEM windows copy, it will do that the every time you reinstall the OS. If you have the key, next time you see the "not genuine windows copy" click it and choose to activate by phone, everything else is pretty straight forward as it explains step-by-step. If it doesn't work, then its highly likely that you got a Pirate copy.

As you never posted what this "mystery" error code is I suggest that you look up the Microsoft advice for them:

Is my windows copy genuine?

So, in 2012 I bought Windows 8 Pro DPK from Microsoft Store. Then I had update to 8.1 and then on the same device I had free update to Windows 10 Pro. With version 1607 I linked my
Microsoft account to the Windows 10 digital license on my device.

Several weeks ago I had significant hardware change (mobo, cpu), but Windows was activated successfully with "a digital license linked to your Microsoft account".

So now is the question - am I have rights to use this copy of Windows (with update form 8 to 10 and
significant hardware change)? Is my copy genuine and licensed?

Can I have as more answers on this question as possible please?

I've come from Russian community thread with this question, where the moderator insist that I'm a pirate and have no rights to use this copy.

Thank you in advance!

Regards,

Alexander.
