Strange
Ok, so I have a legal copy of Win 7 Pro that I already installed on my laptop with no issues and it's activated. I have an old HP desktop that I had laying around I thought I would install Win 7 on it using the same disk I used for my laptop. I have no intention of activating it on the desktop since it's already activated on my laptop I was just bored being unemployed and I wanted to see how well windows 7 would run on an older PC. My question is that it says it's not a genuine copy. HUH? How could it know that? I don't have it connected to a network. According to SIW it's a HP Pavilion 061. The history on this desktop is that I bought it from a coworker back around 07' with XP pro installed. I bought for my mom to use to surf the internet, but she never really used it so it just sat. Hence I just use it to mess with. Anybody know why it show as not genuine?
