    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.

    Swapping ssd's without losing windows genuine licence

    How do install my copy of Windows 10 on an SSD that I will then swap for the internal SSD in my Dell Laptop?

    I bought a new 500Gb 2.5" SSD and an external USB Hard Drive Case.

    I want to do a fresh install of Windows 10 on this drive externally, then swap it for the existing 125 Gb SSD in my Dell Inspiron 11 laptop.

    I do not have a registration key for Windows 10 as it was preinstalled, and I am concerned that:

    1. The laptop may have a custom Dell installation, ie unique drivers and mods

    2. I will lose my registration

    3. I will lose all my software installations

    4. The laptop will not boot the drive after I swap it in

    Please give me step by step instructions and a heads up of any problems I may encounter and should avoid.

    Thanks

    Peter
