Product key won't work
I have W7 Ultimate on my computer and I MUST activate it with a new product key. OK with that.
So purchased a new, unopened, legal OEM W7 Ultimate. Was going to use that product key to change the product key on my installed W7. Tried it and was not accepted. Not real upset about it because I can do a clean install of the OEM W7. However, I have the installed one set up the way I want and would rather not have to reinstall all my programs.
Is my problem that I am trying an OEM key with a non-OEM installation?
