hello i cloned my samsung 840 to 860 but now the cloned ssd says win 7 not genuine. i am running win7 oem key.

MS and samsung are such A*holes ! MS made my entire background black in just few min of this message while i was still posting this thread "not genuine message and removed my wallpaper too" !

This is on desktop and i don't remember or took the key at time of delivery.

is there any way to get old key from my old ssd or can i use any other better clone software which will not cause this ? please suggest what is best option..ty

win 7, 64 bit
i5 4440
16gb ram
gigabyte 85md3h
Samsung 860 EVO

BSOD windows 7 stop 0x0000007b (0xfffff880009a9928 this was screw up beofore on this ssd but rectified to some extent but original issue to do it in 1st place of AHCI driver being outdated of 2013 is still there..

Try making a backup of the 840 with AOMEI Backupper free then image the 860 drive.

Use dism++ to backup activation by pointing it at the old ssd. Then point it at the new one and restore the activation.

Cloning, Windows 7 became non-genuine, Samsung Data Migration

i used macrium , had to use win 7 recovery at boot though, tried twice did not boot...but after using recovery tool in win 7 usb stick os loaded fine. I have reserved drive now showing up in my computer 100 mb drive win makes any way to hide it ? tx

I need to leave disk unallocated and then clone, no issue now ty all and this lovely forum.

I really wish they would basic stuff like changing ssd windows OS etc more easier, makes life easier as so many users out there might not have access to such forum resources etc. And could really save us all time.
