Windows 10: [SOLVED] Changing Hard Drive - Windows Activation Issue

Hello five months ago my HDD was corrupted so I brought it to service shop and they changed my HDD and reinstalled windows in it. What I didn't know was they installed a different windows license with the one I had in my previous HDD which will expired after 180 days. Now I have 30 days left until it's expired.


I tried to activate the windows with the product key of windows that I found in my previous HDD but it said the product key didn't work error code: 0xc004f050.


Is there any solution for this issue or should I buy another windows license?

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

I have a problem, sometimes when the machine enters the windows hard drive starts working steadily to the point of slowing down other team's activities and usually takes some time for a return to normalcy, on other occasions the restart the pc led the Hard disk lights as if it were working and the team stays frozen in the welcome screen bios.
if someone can explain to me how to solve this problem
