0xc004f063 Error Says not genuine windows
Hi,
I had to replace a failed HDD in a Win 7 laptop. The laptop is An Acer 5738Z (Intel CPU), and without any setup CD. I have another laptop which is the AMD version of this one so is very similar. I do have a Win7 CD for this and have used it to install windows on the 5738Z. It all seemed to work fine and I used the CD key which is printed on the target machine so I thought that all the licencing should be ok.
It seems not, I am getting an error 0xC004F063 which says the BIOS version is not right.
I feel surprised that it has a problem since the Win7 disc used is supplied by Acer (although for my AMD laptop).
Does anyone know of a way around this problem?
