    The problem is he's taking the drive ( A ) from one license system and putting into another different license system ( B ) and a course MS will flag it since it has the incorrect license for that system . What he first should try is re enter the Windows 7 keys from system ( B ) under Change Product Key and try to reactivated that way, if by chance that fails than a repair options will be the next step .

    Both were 100% pro, but I gave up and just wiped and reinstalled.
