    Windows not activating after fresh install


    I recently upgraded my motherboard and such, and got a new drive for my computer. Once installing windows onto the new drive, it wouldn't allow me to active it, even though it should be digitally licensed and linked to my account. Is there a fix to let me activate windows?

    :)

    Guide: use Pre-activated Windows 7 OEM License on fresh installation

    I don't get the point of this. I have a lenovo laptop and I just made a fresh install of Windows over it and it was activated. It didn't even ask for a serial. Isn't that the same for every other laptop with SLIC? *Confused Windows not activating after fresh install :confused:

    I have an older L412 on which I installed a fresh copy of W7 and I just used the serial on the sticker to install too. No crapware to deal with.

    Is it possible to transfer Windows 7 Home Premium OEM activation backup to fresh installed Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 media refresh on the same system? Because I am planning to reformat my laptop and change its OS to Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.
