    please post the complete results.

    Activated/Genuine and not registered are 2 Different things in MS eye's, the Blue genuine logo ONLY shows it as being genuine the other part of it, even with the logo, means its NOT registered on MS' s servers.

    From the part that youv'e posted the key is either System Builder or Retail, not a true OEM Dell etc, and showing 1 of 5 "lives" used

    A HP 6300 was originally a Win 7 computer so it should have a COA sticker on the side.
    If the MB has not been changed, you should use the COA sticker key.

    A OEM disk key can only be used in one computer. Once activated on a computer, the key and the LAN MAC address are stored on M$ serves. On futures installations, key and the LAN MAC address must match those stored on M$ serves.

    Just to be clear: is there a Windows 7 OEM license key sticker on your computer, and is that the install key you used to activate Windows 7?

    Recently I downloaded the Windows 7 Pro 32-bit ISO file using this tool:
    https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/techno...-download-tool

    I then activated it with the OEM license key that was on the sticker on the side of the computer.

    I don't believe there are any legal or other issues with doing it in this way, because (1) the ISO file I downloaded was a "plain" ISO -- it wasn't tied to any computer, and (2) I used the OEM license which was assigned to that computer to activate Windows 7 on that computer.

    I needed to call Microsoft and do a phone activation; the activation was successful the first time through.

    Yes, does it have the original Microsoft COA on the PC somewhere ? Is it readable ?

    Is that the key you used to activate Windows 7 ?

    Ya know what, on 2nd thought this new member hasn`t replied in over 5 days, and he got a bit snooty with Torchwood when he was asked to show the entire activation report.

    I mean a new member comes here and asks for help and then doesn`t want to fully cooperate.

    I was thinking exactly the same thing.

    It's sad when someone evidently doesn't know enough to help themselves, so they reach out for help; then when you try to help them, they act like they know more than you.

    I have found that you can learn a lot from other people if you will give them a chance; he would benefit from the expert advice offered here, if only he would give us a chance.

    Especially when they come here for free advise from people donating their time.
