Cloned HDD - getting 'This is not a genuine copy' message - HELP
Windows 7 SP1 up to date.
This OS was supplied pre-installed by the manufacturer when the pc was purchased in Jan 2015.
It is a genuine, valid and activated copy.
It is sitting on a 2TB hard disk.
Using Acronis True Image 2020, I cloned this onto a larger 5TB hard disk.
Removed old drive from system, re-booted with new larger hard disk and got the following:
Black screen. In the bottom right-hand corner
Windows 7
Build 7601
This copy of Windows is not genuine
What do I do? It is a genuine copy of Windows and has been successfully cloned before (on the same machine) from a 1TB hard disk.
Is there any way round this?
Never seen this black screen before and it appears that I can't do anything - well, I can open Task Manager but that's about all.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Zaph
