Hi
i can see where SIW2 is going,
any chance you can run this MS tool from here
Windows Genuine and Activation Issue Posting Instructions
The HDD validation is likely using the built-in default option ie self validation -- interenet connection is not required
The SSD if its using the sticker product key it will need to contact the MS server
(validation checks are performed at start-up and monthly)
if you run the tool on the SSD it will come back with a specific error code ..... cant remember off hand but its a combination of 7's and E's, if not connected to the internet
